The return of an annual favourite. Each year, the Winemaker’s Long Lunch brings friends of Noble Rot together around a shared table, and rather than focussing on one region, this time they're welcoming legendary names from across all corners of the New Zealand wine community. Settle in for an afternoon shaped by conversation, generous hospitality, and wines poured by the people who made them. Winemakers will join you at the table, sharing bottles from their own cellars and the stories behind them. Such as the significant vintages, the vines they grow, and the decisions that define their style. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, with time to taste, and ask questions over a glass (or three). A relaxed three-course long lunch will be served sharing style, thoughtfully designed to complement a line-up of outstanding New Zealand wines poured throughout the afternoon in this fitting celebration of wine and friendship. Your ticket includes three courses and wines poured throughout the afternoon by the winemakers themselves. This is an afternoon of genuine hospitality.
