Lunch at Mincher Garden with Monique Fiso on 14 November 2026

This November, join us at Mincher Garden in Coatesville for a one-of-a-kind afternoon of food and wine with acclaimed New Zealand chef Monique Fiso.

Hosted by Monique alongside Cloudy Bay Director of Winemaking Nikolai St George and Technical Viticulturist Hannah Ternent, the afternoon will bring you closer to the wines, people and places behind Cloudy Bay.

Rather than a traditional seated lunch, you’ll move through the private surrounds of Mincher Garden, discovering food and wine across sweeping lawns, mature trees and tree-lined avenues, with the original Mappin Glasshouse from Government House at its heart.

Monique has created a menu specifically around six Cloudy Bay wines, drawing on her considered approach to kai Māori, native ingredients and contemporary technique. Each dish has been developed to complement the character of the wine it accompanies.

The wine journey moves from the new Sauvignon Blanc 2026 through older vintages and rare Founder’s Cellar wines, including Pelorus Vintage 2006 Magnum and Te Wāhi 2022 - offering a wider view of Cloudy Bay across varieties, regions and vintages.
