Book now for our wine dinner with Vasse Felix, Margaret River’s founding wine estate. Wednesday 26th November at Fredericks, Islington.

Famous for its elegant Bordeaux style reds and increasingly for Chardonnays that rival Burgundy, Margaret River produces only 2% of Australia’s wine but around 25% of its premium wine.

In other words the region is all about fine wine and this, in large part, is thanks to Dr Tom Cullity, an English lover of Bordeaux, who established Vasse Felix the first winery in Margaret River back in 1967.

We have an amazing line up of five of their top wines for you to try which include both of the estates flagship wines:

The 2021 Heytesbury Chardonnay, a stunning vintage and the award winning Tom Cullity Bordeaux blend. We’ll be pouring the 2016 vintage which is maturing beautifully.

We’ll also try the Premier Chardonnay and Premier Cabernet, all matched with a delicious three course dinner in Frederick’s private club room.

And to kick things off with a sparkle a glass of Idée Fixe Premier Brut.

Ryan Hancock, Vasse Felix’s man in Europe, will be on hand to tell the story of this pioneering wine estate and to present the wines.

Don’t miss what is shaping up to be a memorable evening.

Tickets are £120 on Eventbrite or £110 by emailing adam@wandercurtis.com and then paying by BACS.
