F.A.W.C! A Chardonnay Showcase

Join Jordyn Harper and Jason Lambert, the young guns of wine from Smith & Sheth and Pyramid Valley, in a masterclass of epic Chardonnay proportions.

In this 2-hour masterclass, we’ll showcase why Smith and Sheth is steadily gaining a reputation as one of Hawke’s Bay’s finest Chardonnay producers. Sample Chardonnay from the winery’s Howell Vineyard, Heretaunga and Mangatahi wines alongside examples from the celebrated Pyramid Valley estate in North Canterbury, including the latest release of the Field of Fire and Lion’s Tooth Chardonnay.

Each flight will include an international benchmark, showcasing New Zealand’s ability to proudly sit in the company of some of the finest Chardonnay in the world. With shared Hawke’s Bay artisanal platters designed to enhance the flavours of the wine, this wine and food tasting experience will expand your Chardonnay horizons and give you a whole new appreciation for this versatile grape often known as ‘the winemaker’s grape’.

Ticket price includes eight wine tasting pours (including two international benchmarks and two Pyramid Valley Botanical wines), and shared platters.
