The Vintner’s Lunch was a major fund-raising initiative for Wellington’s Te Omanga Hospice. This “long lunch” concept designed by Verve featured several of Wellington’ top restauranteurs and hospitality specialists working together to create a seven course degustation lunch with wine pairings. Accompanied by top local entertainment, both silent and live auctions and the stunning setting of The Great Hall at Massey University – this unique experience was a hit with all who attended.
