First Session: Sunday 18th May
A French Fling with Vintrepid

Introducing our new Supplier Series! On select Sundays, we’ll invite a supplier (food or drink-related) to host a Sunday lunch with us. It’s about bringing the community together for something new and fun, where our chef can get creative with the menu and Sam can play with the wine pairings.

For our first event, we’re hosting a French Fling with Vintrepid on Sunday 18th May. Founder and Thirroul local Chris Harag is passionate about French vignerons. He’ll bring along some of his favourite bottles and chat through the pairings.

Plus, our new chef in the kitchen, Steven Freeman, who used to helm Wollongong’s Deputant, will whip up a special French menu to show off his skills and pair with each wine.

These events are all about having a good time and letting our chefs, winemakers, and producers shine. Let’s come together for an epic Sunday session!
