Paid Event - Tickets Required - Purchase here - Only ticket holders will be admitted

Step into the warmth and charm of a French cellar-style setting at Maison Vauron for a Learning Lunch that celebrates the essence of French food culture.
Hosted by Will Brunel-Morvan, this experience brings together storytelling, tradition, and flavour. Guests will enjoy a classic plateau de charcuterie et de fromage - a selection of cured meats, pâté, mousse, tapenade, condiments, and French cheeses, served with fresh baguette, followed by homemade petit fours.
As you dine, Will will guide you through the rich traditions behind French cuisine and wine—sharing insights from his time in Michelin-starred restaurants and his journey bringing French wine culture to New Zealand. From the concept of terroir to the art of pairing and balance, this session offers a deeper understanding of how food and wine are woven into everyday life in France.

This Learning Lunch will explore:

• The cultural significance of charcuterie and cheese in French dining
• How terroir shapes both food and wine traditions
• The philosophy behind pairing and balance
• Stories and lessons from France’s great culinary institutions
• Designed as a relaxed, conversation-led culinary experience, this session invites you to slow down, savour, and connect—discovering how simple, well-crafted food can tell a much bigger story.
