Join Stephen Pannell (S.C. Pannell), Mathilda Hill-Smith (MMAD Vineyard) and Rosie Henry (Willunga 100) for a long lunch at The Old Bush Inn celebrating McLaren Vale and the evolution of modern Grenache.

A rare opportunity to hear from three of the region's leading Grenache producers in one room, this special event brings together decades of experience, knowledge and passion for McLaren Vale's most exciting variety.

Enjoy a three-course menu paired with 10 wines from three producers while exploring the people, places and vineyards shaping one of Australia's most dynamic wine regions. Along the way, you'll gain insight into what makes McLaren Vale such a special place to grow Grenache, and why the variety has become one of the region's defining strengths.

For those unable to attend the lunch, The Old Bush Inn will also be offering a special Grenache flight throughout Grenache & Gourmet, featuring a wine from each producer and providing a unique opportunity to explore different expressions of McLaren Vale Grenache side by side.
