Ata Rangi Wine Dinner – Franca Brasserie

For many wine lovers Ata Rangi needs no introduction, such is the regard this emblematic New Zealand winery is held. Founded in 1980 by Clive Paton just outside the Martinborough township, the last 40 years has seen Ata Rangi rise to become one of the most highly regarded Pinot Noir producers in the New World.

Join us as we host Ata Rangi winemaker Helen Masters for an intimate wine dinner and taste through the current vintages from this iconic producer. Carefully matched to a specially curated menu from our great friends at Franca Brasserie, we’ll taste a range of both white and red wines from Ata Rangi including several iterations of their acclaimed pinot noirs. This is a great opportunity to learn about what makes these wines so revered, Helen’s time at Ata Rangi and her wine winemaking philosophy.
