Inspired by the Marlborough Book Festival, we’re hosting a relaxed fireside evening for book lovers, book clubs, and anyone who loves good wine and great conversation.

We’ll be pouring mulled wine and Forrest favourites by the glass or bottle, with cheese platters available to purchase on the night. A one-off winter evening to settle in, share stories, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Entry is free, but bookings are essential. Book at cellardoor@forrest.co.nz 

Website: A Bookish Evening at Forrest – Forrest Wines

We’re hosting a relaxed evening at our cosy Cellar Door and Tasting Room, where we’ll be pairing a selection of our premium red wines with a two-course gourmet seasonal dinner.

This special night offers a rare opportunity to explore some of our finest reds—including a few bottles from our exclusive Library stock. If you’ve ever been curious about how a wine ages, this is your chance to taste the difference for yourself.

We’ll be there to share the stories behind the wines, chat about our winemaking approach, and connect over a shared love of good food, good company, and great wine.

It’s set to be an intimate evening of tasting, learning and storytelling by candlelight.

Tickets are limited, so make sure you book soon—we’d love to see you there.

Tickets: $75.00 per person
