Red Wines by Candlelight

Join winemakers John and Beth Forrest for an evening at their cosy Cellar Door and Tasting room for a taste of their most wintery wines and delicious hot food.

This is an opportunity for the Forrest family to share their premium red wines, showcasing a range of varietals and offering you the chance to taste from our Library stock to gain an insight into the potential for cellaring.

Join us to taste, experience and learn about these wines. Meet the people who make them and discover their passion for the land, their craft and their wines.

The event includes a tasting of 7 wines and a warming bowl of Beef and Mushroom stroganoff designed to match with the wine. Dietary requirements can be catered for, please get in touch to let us know your needs.

The Forrest family has been crafting wines since the late 1980’s. Returning to family roots and generations of farming in the Marlborough region seemed a natural progression for John and Brigid Forrest, after successful careers in scientific research and medicine.

Fast forward 30 years; many awards and accolades, various labels and vineyards across the country. Forrest is set for generations.
