Carlton Wine Room
Getting two of Australia’s best and busiest wine importers into one room for a night is about as difficult as it sounds. We’ve done it,” says Travis Howe, Good Food Guide Sommelier of the Year 2018 & booze guru at Carlton Wine Room.
CellarHand’s Patrick Walsh and Bibendum head honcho Robert Walters are going head to head at this Melbourne Food & Wine Festival dinner. Each have chosen wines that inspire them, but they don’t personally import.
$235pp includes a carefully curated feast, wines that’ll move you and a head-to-head like no other.
