Savour the Stories Behind the Wines, Paired with Azure Bar and Grill’s Culinary Masterpieces
Join us at Elements of Byron for an unforgettable journey through the world of wine with our Winter Winemaker Series. As the chilly winds sweep in, we’re excited to offer you a unique opportunity to delve into the captivating narratives behind some of the most distinguished wineries. Prepare your palate for an exquisite exploration of flavours, aromas, and tales straight from the vineyard.
Throughout the winter months, we will be hosting a series of intimate winemaker dinners at Azure Bar and Grill, each curated to showcase the distinct character and craftsmanship of renowned Australian and New Zealand wineries. Our lineup promises an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts and curious connoisseurs alike.
On July 25, the spotlight is on Swinging Bridge, a winery synonymous with innovation and tradition.
Swinging Bridge is a family-centric winery dedicated to crafting exceptional wines that capture the distinctive character of the Orange region. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Canobolas (Gaahna Bulla), the estate reflects winemaker Tom Ward’s unwavering passion for high-altitude winemaking, with a particular emphasis on the region’s signature varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Rooted in tradition yet embracing innovation, Swinging Bridge leads the way in establishing the Orange region as a renowned frontier for cool-climate winemaking.
Following this, the August Winemaker Dinner welcomes the unparalleled elegance of New Zealand’s Dog Point wines. Renowned for their commitment to sustainability and excellence, Dog Point promises an evening of sophistication and sublime flavours.
