Food, wine and footy fans will be indulged at a Rugby and Wine Dinner taking place in August at Sydney’s Crystal palace, Luna Park.

Luna Park Sydney together with partners Vasse Felix and New Zealand based winery, Nautilus Estate are hosting a wine, food and rugby dinner perfect for foodie and footy fans as well as corporate entertainment.

Nautilus Estate general manager Clive Weston
will join Vasse Felix winemaker Virginia Wilcock,
as well as Rugby legends and guests

The event, styled by the James Gordon Workshop, will step away from the traditional ‘boy’s lunch’, the dinner will have a focus on wine and food, but with a little competitive spirit thrown in prior to the Bledisloe Cup match the following weekend.

Former All Black World Cup winning Captain and Fairfax Media, CEO, David Kirk and Wallaby Jason Little are the special guests along with Vasse Felix, proprietor Paul Holmes a Court.

Vasse Felix wine maker Virginia Willcock and Nautilus Estate general manager Clive Weston, will debate the respective differences between Australian and New Zealand wines and Luna Park’s executive chef, Mark Taylor will create a sumptuous 4 course menu using the best produce from both Australia and New Zealand.

The Australia New Zealand Wine and Rugby Dinner will be held on Wednesday, 19th August in the Crystal Ballroom and limited tickets are available through Luna Park.
