Imagine the entire Wet Jacket Cellar Door exclusively for you and your friends….
For the month of August we partnered with our friends at Wet Jacket Wines every Saturday to offer an exclusive world class Winter Dining experience. A DIVINE series of exquisite dinners!
With Wet Jacket wines as the host and myself as the chef we came together to offer a divinely intimate, private dining experience in the unique cellar door at Lake Hayes. There is a delicious synergy with Wet Jacket wines and a Divine Dish that is something very special and we were excited to share with our supporters.
Each exclusive degustation feast was deliciously themed to tell the story of our brands.
Five courses of DIVINE goodness paired perfectly with sensational wines.
“Fireside chats, intimate service, divine food and exquisite wine. This was the most unique dining experience in the Wakatipu Basin”
Many thanks to the amazing crew at Wet Jacket for your support in making this happen and all of our fabulous guests, it was a pleasure to cook for you all!
