Cork & Fork 2026
Dust off your sun hats and sharpen your appetites—our most anticipated member-exclusive tradition is back. On Saturday, September 19th, we’re turning up the heat (and chilling the Verdelho) for Cork & Fork 2026.
This year, we’re bringing the coast to the country with a spectacular Surf & Turf theme. We’ve once again partnered with our mates at Hungerford Meat Co. to deliver a day of salt, smoke, and exceptional Hunter Valley wine.
The Main Event
The day kicks off under the spring sun with a coastal spread to die for. Start your afternoon with:
-
Freshly Shucked Oysters: Straight from the coast to your glass.
-
Charcuterie & Grazing: A lavish spread of Hungerford’s finest artisan meats.
-
Gourmet Canapés: Handcrafted bites to pair perfectly with our latest releases.
From Blade to Barrel
Before we sit down to feast, witness the craft firsthand. The experts from Hungerford Meat Co. will take centre stage for an exclusive butchery demonstration, showing you the precision and passion behind the perfect cut.
The Shared Feast
Following the demo, we’ll move into the heart of the winery for a long-lunch, shared-style feast. Expect platters piled high with premium land and sea bounty, designed to be enjoyed the way wine is meant to be: with great friends and even better conversation.
Festival Vibes & Fine Wine
It wouldn’t be Cork & Fork without the “extras” that make it more festival fun than serious wine lunch.
-
Live Music: Setting the soundtrack for your afternoon in the Hunter.
-
Endless Wine: Your favourites flowing all day long.
-
The Meat Raffle: A good old-fashioned tradition—try your luck at taking home some Hungerford gold!
