Wildcard Wines of Martinborough with Yvonne Lorkin

Karahui Wine Bar & Eatery, 1 Memorial Square, Martinborough
Saturday 18 November 2023 12:00pm – 2:00pm

The Wairarapa is one of New Zealand’s most versatile wine regions, and Yvonne Lorkin, wine writer and CTO of WineFriend is going to show you why – sip by surprising sip.

Join her for a romp through a collection of Martinborough’s lesser-known liquid treasures. A tasty tiki-tour of seven, locally-grown, leftfield lovelies that we’re calling Wairarapa’s Wildcards. Those mighty Wairarapa winemakers produce glorious, world-class pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon and aromatics, right? Yet behind those tried and true classics lies a sneaky smorgasbord of rare, exciting and often experimental wines that could really spin your wheels.

Tickets include gorgeously tasty, complimentary cheese platters. So rally your mates and roar along – HOORAY!!
