Pegasus Bay was established by the Donaldson family in the mid-80s, who were pioneers of the Canterbury wine industry. Their wine making philosophy is to grow grapes to the highest quality, which fully expresses the features of the vineyard, and to handle these with the utmost respect. Pegasus Bay has been rated as one of NZ’s top 5 producers by influential US wine critic Robert Parker and named Canterbury’s top producer of fine wine by well known NZ wine writer Michael Cooper.
Dinner will be hosted by Edward Donaldson (Pegasus Bay) and Ben Batterbury (True South Dining Room)
