Join us at the elegant Sailmaker for a night designed to warm you from the inside out. This isn’t just a dinner; it’s an immersive journey into the heart of winter’s finest flavours, showcasing the very best of our New South Wales craftsmanship alongside the bold, earthy elegance that only black truffles can provide.
Your unforgettable evening begins with a welcoming glass of our exquisite De Iuliis Blanc de Blanc sparkling on arrival, perfectly complemented by two delicate canapés. These delectable bites will set the stage for the truffle journey ahead, each hinting at the earthy delights to come.
Then, prepare to indulge in a lavish four-course truffle-inspired menu, with each dish thoughtfully paired with five of our premium De Iuliis wines. To make the experience even more personal and engaging, our very own Mike De Iuliis will guide you through each pairing, sharing insights and stories behind the wines in a truly intimate tasting experience. Throughout the evening, each exquisite course will feature either shaved or grated truffle, enhancing the rich, earthy notes that define this winter delicacy.
Here’s a glimpse of the culinary journey that awaits:
- 1st Course: Begin with Butter poached marron, served with smoked tomato broth, bitter melon crisps, and gooseberries. This delicate dish will be perfectly paired with our 2025 De Iuliis Rose.
- 2nd Course: Next, savour the Dry-aged duck, accompanied by celeriac, golden beets, endive, and rosella confit. This course is ideally paired with our 2023 De Iuliis Chardonnay.
