Dine with Dish and Crossroads at Palate

Join us for a very special night of wining and dining with Crossroads at Palate Restaurant.
Don’t miss the chance to experience very special wines from Crossroads matched with a delicious menu at Palate in Hamilton.
The evening will be hosted by Dish editor Lisa Morton and Crossroads winemaker Miles Dinneen, who will guide diners through the food and wine matches. The four-course menu will be designed and executed by Palate head chef and owner Mat McLean. Each course will be matched with a selection of Crossroads wines.
For over 20 years, Crossroads has brought wine lovers the very best of small parcel Hawke’s Bay winemaking from its vineyards and winery. Crossroads has six purpose-designed vineyards in selected sub-regions of Hawke’s Bay, including four in the Gimblett Gravels. These vineyards shape the essence of Crossroads.

Guests will be able to savour Crossroads’ signature wine, Talisman. Talisman is a secret blend known only to winemaker Miles Dinneen; it is a unique embodiment of the very best wine the Hawke’s Bay vineyards have to offer.
Palate is located beside the river in the heart of Hamilton. Mat’s menu for the Dine with Dish event promises to be a unique experience of premium wines matched to fantastic food.
