Time is ticking & there’s just 2 weeks to go until we bring over 500 wines to Tobacco Dock. Read on below for some of the highlights of what our visitors will get to experience…

Meet Marco Pierre White

We’re excited to be joined by World renowned chef Marco Pierre White who will be teaming up with our very own Wine Development Specialist, Simon Grayson. Marco will be cooking up Macaroni of Lobster with tarragon which Simon will be matching to 3 of our wines - the Ceres Full Circle Vineyard Pinot Gris from Central Otago, Les Collines de Laure en Blanc, by Jean-Luc Colombo and the Erdener Treppchen Riesling from Dr Loosen. 

If you've got one of Marco's cookbooks, please feel free to bring it along as Marco will be available before and after his masterclass at 12pm for photos and autographs.

Pop in to our ‘Generator Bars’ for a drink 

Back by popular demand, our Generator Bar is our very own Matthew Clark bar where we aim to inspire you! Our experts will share our tips for up-selling & be on hand to offer advice on how to build a commercial wine list. This year, we've got a selection of red and white wines in the 'Generator Bar' and with the increasing popularity of rosé wine, we've opened a 'Blush Bar' to show you the diversity that this style of wine has to offer. 

Music to your ears! 

Have you ever thought about holding an open mic night in your outlet? We’ve lined up some local musicians to keep you entertained during the day and to give you ideas on running a music event in your outlet to generate some incremental profits.

Menu’s talk – but what do they say? 

Your menu is how you communicate the products you sell to your customers. Has it been designed to fulfil its maximum potential as a selling tool? Make sure you visit our Design Team at La Piazza to see how they can help you get the most of your list! Our design studio is part of the added value service that we offer our customers. Its purpose is to help drive sales within outlets by offering an excellent, professional design and print service - better still, it's free of charge!

With funky labels set to be big this year, you’ll love the eye catching designs shown by our recent range addition from Casa Rojo - they're already causing quite a stir! Also make sure you try the fresh, elegant and inspirational Cava from Villa Conchi and the Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Crianza. To top it all off, we'll have a selection of meats and cheeses for you to nibble on and see what goes best with your favourite wines.
