An evening of rare elegance awaits at The Lodge in Commercial Bay, where celebrated Master of Wine Sam Harrop will showcase his exceptional collection. Known for his philosophy of “beautiful simplicity,” Harrop crafts wines that speak of purity and restraint, allowing the essence of the vineyard to shine.

This exclusive experience on February 26th is elevated further by an exquisite menu from Executive Chef Matt Lambert. A master of balance and nuance himself, Lambert has curated a selection of dishes designed to perfectly complement Harrop’s wines. From heirloom tomatoes with fromage blanc to wild wapiti deer with bone marrow, each course is a thoughtful interplay of flavour and texture, culminating in a decadent puff pastry-baked camembert.
