Influential Characters Dinner | Melbourne
Join us for this special dinner at Fitzroy institution, the Builders Arms Hotel, as we showcase three great South Australian wine regions – Langhorne Creek, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills – through the expression of three specific wineries – Angas & Bremer, Gomersal and Chain of Ponds.
Explore the influential characters of these unique regions through their landscape, people, and – of course – wines, from the crisp and vibrant Black Thursday Sauvignon Blanc by Chain of Ponds to the spice, chocolate and soft tannins of the Gomersal Premium Shiraz, the perfectly balanced Angas & Bremer Malbec and more – all matched to chef Andrew McConnell’s exciting seasonal menu, a reflection of the creative talent from one of Australia’s most influential culinary figures.
You’ll also get to meet the winemakers with host Selector’s Paul Diamond, rounding out an evening of character and taste. It’s an experience that will leave an impression on your senses. Book now.
