Join us on Friday 4 September from 6-9pm for an intimate evening of dining and storytelling with Bream Creek Vineyard.

Our popular Meet the Maker series is back with a collaboration between 1830 Restaurant & Bar and Bream Creek Vineyard.  Enjoy a multi-course dinner curated by chef, John Churchill, and meet Rafe Nottage of Bream Creek in this hyperlocal dining event celebrating Turrakana/the Tasman Peninsula.

Set against the sweeping views of the Port Arthur Historic Site, the evening will showcase the natural connection between Tasmania’s east coast, cool-climate wines and local produce.

As you dine, Rafe will share the story of Bream Creek Vineyard and the unique growing conditions that shape its wines, from its coastal location and maritime climate to the long, even ripening seasons that have helped establish its reputation as one of Tasmania’s premier wine producers.
As our Meet the Maker series moves into spring, this special event will feature a menu designed to complement Bream Creek’s award-winning wines, bringing together seasonal produce, local flavours and the local stories that shape this corner of our island home.

What to expect

  • Welcome drink on arrival and a multi-course seasonal menu inspired by Bream Creek Vineyard wines
  • Wine pairings during the meal
  • Storytelling with Rafe Nottage along with optional further tastings

The Makers: Bream Creek Vineyard

For more than three decades, Bream Creek Vineyard has been producing cool-climate wines from one of Tasmania’s most celebrated wine-growing regions. Set above Marion Bay on Tasmania’s east coast, the vineyard benefits from a maritime climate that delivers long, even ripening conditions and distinctive varietal character.

Joining us for the evening is Rafe Nottage, General Manager of Bream Creek Vineyard, who has been instrumental in sharing the vineyard’s story and showcasing its award-winning wines. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy a menu designed to complement these cool-climate styles, while hearing from Rafe about the vineyard, the growing season, and what makes this corner of Tasmania such a special place to produce wine.
