The W**emaker, The Farmer & The Chef: A Grenache Story.
Hosted by Juxtaposed W**es – McLaren Vale
21st September 2025 | 12pm - 4pm
Step into the story of Grenache, told through the hands and hearts of those who know it best.
Set within the working w**ery of Juxtaposed W**es, this long-table experience brings together three essential storytellers: Dr Wes Pearson, w**emaker and co-owner of Juxtaposed; Wayne Smart, multigenerational McLaren Vale Grenache grapegrower; and Tom Boden, acclaimed local chef.
This is not just a lunch, it’s a conversation.
Chef Boden will lead you through a menu highlighting Grenache’s best friend – Duck. Over multiple duck courses crafted by Boden, guests will enjoy carefully matched Juxtaposed Grenache w**es, old and new. As the afternoon unfolds, stories will be shared: of old vines and new vintages, of generational knowledge, of taking risks, and of staying true to the land.
The setting is raw and real - a shed where grapes are crushed, barrels breathe, and w**e is born. It’s stripped back, yet full of heart. This is where w**e happens, and where Grenache will be celebrated.
Come hungry for connection, curiosity, and character. Leave with a deeper understanding of Grenache and the people who bring it to life.
