South African wine maker’s dinner

Winemaker’s night is one of many innovative dining experiences at MLH. This is an event that allows guests to get up close and personal with the maker, of their favourite tipples and it’s a rare opportunity to taste a tailor made menu to suit palates and moods.

It is a well-known fact that good wine is made in the vineyard, and behind any good winemaker lurks a good viticulturist and an even better farm. It is this balance that Hill & Dale winemaker, Guy Webber, believes is the essence of winemaking. Webber’s curiosity and palette has taken him to length and breadth of the globe. He brings to winemaking, an articulate opinion about his greatest passion.

The South African Winemaker’s night at MLH will take place on November 6 at the Maitland State Room. A fine selection of South African wines will be served during the event. These choices of wines will be complemented with a five course. Guests will have the opportunity to sample the menu items appropriately paired with selected wines, showcasing the diverse range and compatibility of South African Wines. The dinner is a masterful, multi course gourmet menu paired with award-winning wines, with the objective being to establish a unique experience that guest can get involved.

“It is about putting diners in touch with other people, for some light hearted conversation over great food and wine. The first winemakers’ night was a great success, hence we thought to continue to make people happier. Some people would see it is a more relaxed form of networking, accompanied by the chef and wine connoisseur to add some insights into the dining experience,” GM Anura Dewapura states.
