Join us for an Epic Food & Wine Battle between Saddler’s Vs Gartelmann wines where you get to judge the dinner with matching wines.
Each cellar door will be serving their very best wines and each chef will be pairing each course to match.
You decide which of the 6-courses and wines will win this round of the battle.
Talented chefs, Matt Dillow from The Deck Café and Jonathan Heath from Saddler’s Eats / Well Seasoned Catering, will be showcasing their culinary skills to persuade your taste buds.
The evening will be held at Saddler’s Creek Wines’ barrel room. It’s here that we’ll gather as one big family, enjoying a feast that celebrates the best of the Hunter Valley’s food and wine.
This inspiring event unites two boutique, family-owned destinations that share a deep passion for food and wine. It’s a celebration of friendship, flavour profiles, and the joy of coming together. Be part of this unforgettable experience and let your voice be heard!
