While we so very much appreciate the continued Level 4 Lockdown efforts of our friends in Auckland, and the uncertainty here in the South under Delta level 2, we are just so excited to announce our new team member Keith, and our inaugural participation in the fantastic regional promotion by @centralotagonz @eat.taste.central
@mindfoodmag
James and Promil from Tourism Central were with us today, shooting marketing images of our entry.

After much discussion (and taste tests!) we have entered the month long celebration of #centralotago stories, food and wines in the “Pie” section, with a Beef Bourgogne pie, Southland mash and French beans… made with local products by our new Chef, Keith Page. Keith has joined us for private function catering, events and ETC and we are beyond delighted to have such experience and expertise join our tight knit team. A local Pisa Moorings resident, some of you may recognise Keith from his @southernfarefood enterprise in @cromwell_nz and at various events around Otago and Southland. Having already catered a few events for us and @pinotcentral we can guarantee you a taste sensation treat is in store!

Watch this space and local media coverage for more information on EatTasteCentral including @thecentralapp

Running 24th September to 25th October, our lunches will be available Thursdays to Sundays inclusive, 12noon to 3pm and bookings are essential. Limited space. $35 / person including a tasting of two of our pinot noirs.

Welcome back
.
Under Delta Alert Level 2, we are thrilled to be able to open with all the Ministry of Health guidelines and protocols in place including mask wearing (unless tasting wine), contact tracing and sanitation.
.
We will be open again daily 11am to 5pm from Friday 10th September.
.
There can only be up to 50 people in our indoor space so we recommend calling us if you have a large group. 03 445 4912.
Because there is a cap on the number of people who can be present, customers and workers only need to keep 1 metre apart.
.
Let’s hope our Auckland friends can come and see us here in #pinotcentral soon.
.
Thank you from the rest of NZ. See you all soon - we've got this...

Need some bubbles for your bubble?

Celebrate alert level changes or just because it's Sunday, our Crémant de Bourgogne is simply exquisite.
.
A blanc de blanc (100% chardonnay) our Crémant is a sparkling wine made in the same traditional method as Champagne and grown / bottled in Burgundy.
.
Mouthwatering aromas of citrus zest, flowers and crushed chalk. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with a fine but mouth-filling mousse and an impressive cut and definition. The finish is long, persistent and rewarding.
