Join Hastwell & Lightfoot during the McLaren Vale Grenache & Gourmet Festival for a vibrant Spanish-inspired food and wine tasting experience celebrating the launch of Hastwell & Lightfoot’s new premium hand-picked Sands Vineyard Reserve Grenache.

Set within the warm and intimate surroundings of the Oak Room, this special event brings together fabulous food, exceptional wine and the stories behind one of McLaren Vale’s most beloved grape varieties.

Guests will enjoy a generous tapas-style dinner featuring Spanish-inspired dishes designed for sharing, each carefully created to complement the expressive characters of Grenache.

Throughout the evening, Winemaker James Hastwell and respected wine educator / Cellar Door Manager Bruce Gordon will host an engaging Grenache Q&A and guided wine matching experience, exploring the style, craftsmanship and future of Grenache in McLaren Vale — including the official unveiling of our new premium reserve release.

Expect bold flavours, flowing conversation, perfectly paired wines and a lively celebration of one of the region’s signature varietals.
