Calabria Family Wines Dinner at Thomas St Kitchen & Bar

Join us for an experience at the final Meet the Maker Series for the year, hosted by Thomas St Kitchen & Bar at Sydney Central Hotel. We're honoured to share this journey in collaboration with the renowned Calabria Family Wines.

This isn't just a dinner, it's a chance to connect with the people behind the passion. Enjoy a unique four-course menu where our Executive Chef Aman Prasad, expertly pairs his innovative creations with a selection of exceptional wines.

You'll have the opportunity to meet Scott McWilliams, the talented winemaker from Calabria Family Wines. Scott is a sixth-generation winemaker, born into the Australian wine industry. He began working in the cellar at the age of 14, and his passion for winemaking eventually led him to study oenology. Scott is an advocate for Australian wine and believes in letting "the vineyard sing," focusing on the quality of the grapes before they are even picked.

Sample menu:

1st Course: Pan-Seared Scallops paired with McWilliam's 2024 Single Vineyard Chardonnay

2nd Course: Roast Duck Breast paired with McWilliam's 660 Pinot Noir

Palate Cleanser: Moscato and Elderflower Sorbet
