Crushed Grapes - Esther's w**e dinner series closes off the year with a taste of Waiheke. Man O' War is bringing the w**e, our kitchen is bringing the fire, and this final edition of 2026 is built entirely around the coals.

Three courses cooked whole and over open flame, matched with Waiheke pours and stories straight from the w**emakers themselves. A mystery pour challenge to test the table. A bottle or two to take home if the night convinces you.

Thursday 22 October, 6pm to 9pm, $149pp. One night only. Book via the link in bio.
