Members Vertical Tasting Luncheon and Dinner – Friday 14th March 2025
Join us at Gartelmann Wines for a decade of decadence, as Matt Dillow and Jim Smith present an experience not to be missed. Taste the triumphs and explore the history, as we showcase a range of Trophy and award-winning wines from the present and the past. We will be raiding the ‘vault’ for some stunning aged examples of our most successful wines and taking a look back at 10 years of Gartelmann winemaking.
Matt and the team at The Deck Café Lovedale have created an exceptional menu to accompany this vertical tasting spectacular and with limited numbers, it will be sure to sell out quickly. This is a one-time only event and something not to be missed.
