The Rees Hotel Queenstown is once again hosting their exclusive, tailor-made Culinary Series Events which have been highly successful for many years.

Thursday 25th June – Billecart-Salmon and Mountford Estate Winemakers Dinner
- Event: 6:30pm at The Rees’ True South Dining Room for 6 wines and 6 courses including a welcome drink and canapes.
- Tickets: $NZ155 per person – buy tickets here.
Hosted by The Rees’ chief executive, Mark Rose, and Mountford Estate winemaker, Matt Barbour.
Celebrate ‘Mid-Winter Christmas’ at The Rees Hotel, with Executive Chef Corey providing a creative spin on traditional festive foods, paired perfectly with top notch champagne and wines from Billecart-Salmon and Mountford Estate.
Located in the heart of Champagne near the charming village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in France, the House of Billecart-Salmon has upheld a value of excellence since it began in 1818. As producers in the very best of champenois tradition of “Grand Cru”, it comes as no surprise that Billecart-Salmon has been a sponsor of the Grammy Awards.
Another creator of superb wines, Mountford Estate, is a boutique vineyard and winery in the picturesque Waipara region in North Canterbury on New Zealand’s South Island. It grows on land dubbed ‘The Golden Mile’ where a high amount of heat and light combine with the soil make-up of clay on top of marl with active limestone deposits. They use biodynamic methods in the vineyard; all the way from when a young vine is placed into the earth right through to the winemaking practices.
