The Winemakers Table: Bilancia

Sip, swirl and explore tales from the vines with Esther’s new winemaker dinner series.

The table is set for breaking bread with our friends and neighbours over a shared passion for beverages of the grape variety. Gather around to learn about the art of Aotearoa winemaking, tasting premium pours perfectly matched to each course of Connolly’s culinary creations. A Mediterranean feast of sorts.

Each event shines the spotlight on a boutique New Zealand winemaker, bringing their best drops, rare releases, and cellar secrets to the table. Think limited pours, vineyard stories, and behind-the-label tales straight from the makers themselves.

From the first pour to the final toast, expect a carefully curated journey of flavour, with each glass paired to Sean’s signature dishes—think ocean-fresh seafood, wood-fired meats, and seasonal produce bursting with Mediterranean flair.

Take your seat at the Winemakers Table and let us top up your glass with only the finest.
