In the glorious late afternoon sun, guests harvested grapes in the vineyard before a well-earned glass of sparkling Pelorus in the garden.

For dinner, we worked with chef Luengo Lippe of Wanaka’s Lipsky & Sons to put together a menu of unique wine and food pairings celebrating Central Otago's character.

The Culinary Club is a bi-monthly dinner that brings Cloudy Bay wine fans together. Guests get to meet like-minded people, explore intriguing wines and enjoy exquisite food in sumptuous comfort and spectacular surroundings. With just ten seats available, each Culinary Club event is a chance to enjoy an intimate, relaxed and informal evening - without having to wash any dishes at the end of the night.
