Top wines from Down Under take center stage at this epicurean celebration.
Join Simone Horgan, who runs the award-winning Leeuwin Estate winery in Western Australia, for an evening of fine cuisine and vintages.
Leeuwin—one of the founding wineries of the famed Margaret River region—released its first wine in 1979 and received international acclaim just two years later for its Art Series Chardonnay.
Over six courses (see menu below) at 51 East's private dining room, you'll be able to sample the winery's 2023 Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as enjoy vertical tastings of their 2020 and 2005 Chardonnays, and 2019, 2015 and 2005 Cabernet Sauvignons.
Horgan is making her first visit to the Club in over 10 years, and during the evening she will share some of the stories behind Leeuwin's winemaking excellence.
