It’s my great pleasure to invite you to join me on my inaugural Sparkling Saffire Weekend this June in Tasmania at Saffire Freycinet, one of my favorite places in the world.

This very special weekend is strictly limited to 20 couples.

Over the course of island, marine farm and vineyard tours, lunches, dinners and masterclasses, we will experience Dom Pérignon, Krug Grande Cuvée, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, Dom Ruinart, Domaine William Fèvre Chablis and Faiveley red Burgundy.

You will meet Tasmania’s greatest winemakers as they pour their finest sparkling, still, white and red wines. All my favourite Tasmanian wines will be flowing: Freycinet Vineyard, Domaine A, House of Arras, Jansz, Stefano Lubiana, Frogmore Creek and Tamar Ridge.
