The Savor Food Festival is the gastronomic experience that should be on your radar this spring, with 70 exceptional events taking place across 60 days — at 18 of the city’s best venues. Set to dominate our culinary calendars in the coming months, the event offers fanatical foodies a full slate of unmissable events, one of which is set to take place soon at Britomart stalwart, Amano, with tickets on sale now.
Gastronomes and oenophiles alike will find sweet satiation as they indulge in a delectable dinner with Sir John Kirwan at Amano. Here, an exclusive dining experience will see guests enjoy a family-style, four-course dinner featuring Sir John Kirwan’s JK.14 wines paired with exceptional local produce by Amano’s Executive Chef Andrew Hanson.

JK will transport guests to Italy with tales of the vineyards his wines are from, and the connection to his family, while delectable dishes are paired with the vibrant wines of JK.14. Trevally Crudo with avocado and lime is enjoyed alongside the zesty Alice Verdeca, the tart notes of each beautifully complimentary, while Amano’s stand-out, whole roasted lamb shoulder finds its perfect pairing in two styles of classic Italian varietals: primitivo and malanotte.
To finish the evening on a high note, diners are invited to enjoy Acqua Di Cedro alongside a crisp, handmade cannolo filled with lime and ricotta. With four masterfully-crafted courses and six wines, this is one event you don’t want to miss, and with limited spaces up for grabs, we suggest securing your spot here today.
