Sydney Wine Dinner at La Boucherie
The Bluegrass collection meets French dining. Current release and cellar-aged wines, side by side.
This is an evening for wine lovers who want more than a glass with dinner. Four courses of French dining at La Boucherie, each one matched to Bluegrass wines from both the current 2023 releases and cellar-aged vintages going back to 2016.

What to expect at your Sydney wine dinner
This dinner exists to showcase the Bluegrass collection, and it does it in a way you cannot get at the cellar door. Each course pairs a 2023 current release with its cellar-aged counterpart from 2016, so you taste what the wine is now and what it becomes with time. The winemakers are there to tell you why.
You will arrive at La Boucherie to a glass of sparkling, then settle in for four courses of French dining. The kitchen has designed each dish to work with both the young and the aged wine in its bracket, so you are not just tasting wine, you are tasting how food changes each one.
The Laureti family and the winemaking team are at the table with you for the evening. This is the kind of night where you end up knowing the wines, the people, and the story behind the family who makes them.
About La Boucherie, Baulkham Hills
La Boucherie is a French brasserie on Old Northern Road in Baulkham Hills, in Sydney's Hills District. The kitchen takes classic French technique seriously, and the dining room has the kind of warmth that makes a four-hour evening feel like it went too fast.
There is something worth noting about this dinner. An Italian-Australian family, a French restaurant, and Australian wines at the same table. It is a cross-cultural story that makes sense the moment you sit down.

The Laureti Way
Saddler's is more than just a winery, it's a Hunter Valley destination we created for bringing people together over good food and wine, family hospitality the Laureti way. The live music, the food from Mangia at Saddler's, the picnic grounds where families gather, they all exist because the point was never just the wine, it was the connection around it. This is a place for making memorable occasions over a glass, the kind you remember long after the glass is empty.
Wine crafted with heart and soul, made for sharing.
