New Zealand Wine Dinner

Featuring the Wineries

Wild Earth & Mills Reef

Geja's Cafe owner visit New Zealand early this year and was amazed not just by the breathtaking landscapes but by the wonderful wineries he visited, winemakers he met and wines he tasted. So much so, he brought back a couple of his favorites to be featured at a very special winemaker dinner.

The Wild Earth selection of premium wines is symbolic of the spectacular, untamed and pristine environment of New Zealand's Central Otago and Marlborough winegrowing regions. The combination of high desert and alpine geography is unique in the world and breathtaking to those lucky enough to experience it for themselves.

Mills Reef concentrates on productions of only a limited number of varietals; those most suited to the Hawkes Bay region. Hawkes Bay, New Zealand's oldest wine region is synonymous with rich, creamy, and complex layers in Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc with tropical fruits and stone fruit dominant flavors.

This dinner will have a very special New Zealand Flare Fondue Dinner. So there is a special price of $60/pp.
