Join us for an exclusive evening of award-winning wines and exceptional dining, hosted by renowned winemaker Damian Hutton and brought to life through a bespoke five-course menu by Chef Robert Murphy.

The evening begins with Ocean Trout Crudo featuring pomegranate, pea mousse, labneh, lime, radish and pickled cucumber, paired with the acclaimed 2023 Regional Riesling (95 points from Ray Jordan). Guests will then enjoy Butter Poached Chicken Breast with mushroom fricassee, asparagus and confit leek beurre blanc, matched with the highly awarded 2025 Mark Chardonnay, which received 96 points from Huon Hooke of The Real Review and was described as “magical chardonnay.”

The journey continues with Roasted Margaret River Venison, accompanied by pearl cous cous, beetroot gel, parsnip chips, and herb crumb, paired with the 2023 Gallery Surrealist, followed by Smoked & Braised Beef Brisket with potato pavé, burnt onion, and cauliflower purée, and heirloom carrots, served alongside the 2023 Estate Cabernet Malbec.

To finish, indulge in a decadent Dark Chocolate Single Origin Delice with hazelnut praline cream and crystallised orange, perfectly paired with a pre-release Pedro Ximénez Liqueur.

Throughout the evening, Damian will guide guests through each wine, sharing the stories, craftsmanship and character behind every pour, while Chef Robert Murphy’s carefully curated menu highlights the flavours and nuances of each pairing. A truly memorable celebration of food, wine and award-winning hospitality awaits.
