The 2016 year is kicking off for Misha’s Vineyard with a season of wine dinners and events planned across a wide array of locations during the first few months of the year.
Table restaurant at Nice Hotel is an award-winning restaurant and considered to be New Plymouth’s finest. On February 21st Table will present their first Sunday Long Lunch of the year featuring Misha’s Vineyard Wines. Hotel owner and host Terry Parkes has built a huge reputation for The Sunday Long Lunch at the Nice Hotel – popular with local business people, foodies and wine enthusiasts. Misha and Andy will talk about the wine as the chef team present a 5 course degustation menu over a leisurely Sunday afternoon.
Following later in the week the The Copthorne hotel’s One80 restaurant in Wellington’s Oriental Bay, will be the venue for another Misha’s Vineyard Wine Dinner. With Executive Chef Chetan Pangam leading the team, One80 boasts stunning views across Oriental Bay with the restaurant receiving many culinary awards including Beef & Lamb Hallmark of Excellence every year since 2006.
Heading on a South East Asian tour in March, Misha and Andy’s schedule of wine dinners and events will start in Kuching (Malaysian state of Sarawak on Borneo), then Penang Island in North West Malaysia, followed by two events in Singapore including the five star Intercontinental Hotel and the Singapore Island Country Club.
