 “When Dad set out to make great Chardonnay he really only had his sights on making one great wine, Kumeu River Chardonnay - and for many years that's all we made. But, over time single vineyards put up their hands producing special individual expressions. First there was Mate's Vineyard, then Hunting Hill & Coddington and now we've expanded into the Hawke's Bay with our Rays Road Chardonnay and we're very excited to develop a new style of Chardonnay from this unique, high altitude, clay over limestone site.” - Michael Brajkovich MW, winemaker Kumeu River

This is a chance to relish some outstanding wines matched with fabulous food, and that alone is a good reason to treat yourself. The real gem is your better understanding of the magic of wine, winemaking and food matching through the experience, enthusiasm and insights of Kumeu River’s Michael Brajkovich, New Zealand’s first Master of Wine (MW).

From the pioneering days to the establishment of the New Zealand wine industry of today, the Brajkovich family have been internationally recognised as producing world class wine. They are focussed on and internationally recognised as producing world class Chardonnay.

Join us for a journey through Kumeu River wines perfectly matched with a multi-course lunch at Springfield House. One day only.

Let the stories begin and the wine flow, we have it on good authority that Paul Pretty and Michael will be delving into their cellars for the occasion as well.
