    Elite Signature Experience

    Private Cellar Dinners

    The winemaker pours. Personally.

    Closed-door tastings and seated dinners hosted by the winemaker in barrel rooms and private vineyards across Australasia's finest wine country.

    These are not commercial cellar-door tastings. They are seated, multi-course dinners poured by the winemaker, often inside the barrel room itself, with library and unreleased vintages opened for the table.

    We have long relationships with the founding families of Marlborough, Central Otago, Hawke's Bay, Barossa, Margaret River and Yarra Valley — which is why these doors open.
