An insightful wine and cheese tasting with local cheesemaker Simon Lamb of Cranky Goat and Fidelio co-owner Elgee Leung for this Cheese & Syrah Masterclass on Wednesday, June 26th at 6:30pm.

Syrah has a long history in New Zealand starting in the mid-1800s with early European settlers. Today over 90% of plantings are found in the Hawke’s Bay, Auckland, and Northland regions with a total 444 hectares planted overall in New Zealand. With brilliant bright flavours and elegant texture, Syrah pairs well with barbecued meats, with tomato-based dishes such as pizza or bolognese. And, cheese of course!

Cranky Goat owners Simon and Hellene Lamb, took a leap of faith turning Simon’s cheese making hobby into a small business back in 2014. It took grit, determination and passion focusing on minimal processing, traditional French cheese making methods, and delivering real flavour with their range of goat, sheep, and cow's milk cheeses.

Limited spaces available.
