Benchmark Wines of Australia Long Lunch | Newcastle
Explore the Benchmarks and Icons of Modern Australian Wine
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon as we explore and celebrate the wines that have shaped—and continue shaping—the Australian wine story.
Over an exclusively curated four-course lunch by Roundhouse's new Executive Chef Thomas Heinrich (Four Seasons Chicago, Fifty Seven Fifty Seven New York), you’ll explore the iconic drops that define style, quality, and ambition in Australian winemaking. From bold pioneers to elegant innovators, we’ll spotlight benchmark wines from legendary estates and rising stars alike – think House of Arras, Giant Steps, Katnook Estate, Pewsey Vale, Peter Lehmann, Pikes, Pipers Brook, Thistledown, Tahbilk, Tyrrell’s and more!
This is more than just a wine lunch—it’s a deep dive into the bottles that have set the standard and the visionaries crafting the future of Australian wine. This hosted experience explores our greatest varietal expressions – from Australian sparkling, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet & Fortified – and takes a serious look at what sets the Australian wine standard.
Seats are limited, palates will be inspired.
