Crushed Grapes

Unfiltered tales from the vines – we’re twisting the cork on your ordinary wine dinners. Call on your cellar dwellers and settle in for a night at (and over) Crushed Grapes.

Spend an evening with Chef Sean Connolly and dish magazine editor, Sarah Tuck, as we sip, swirl and share stories with some of New Zealand’s top winemakers and vineyard ambassadors. From New Zealand to France, each evening, we’ll take you on a journey as regions reveal their personalities, one glass at a time.

From the storied slopes of Burgundy to the dramatic landscapes of Central Otago, contrasting climates of Marlborough and the coastal charm of Waiheke, expect mystery pours, wild stories, vinous secrets and extravagant menus to match. The table is set for a fruitful night with fellow vinophiles.

Fresh flavours of the Med collide with boutique bottles at Esther’s Crushed Grapes dinner series in collaboration with dish magazine.
