Celebrate the beauty of craft and provenance at an exclusive Arrowtown Autumn Festival event hosted by Mora Wines and Wilson Dorset.
Join us for an elegant evening where luxury meets nature, beginning with sparkling wine on arrival and continuing with guided tastings of Mora’s acclaimed Central Otago wines, complemented by a selection of canapés.
Hear the stories behind the brands from Wilson Dorset founders Ben Wilson and Amanda Dorset, and Mora’s winemaker Sarah Adamson. Ben grew up on a South Island farm where sheepskin was a staple of family life, inspiring the comfort-led design ethos that shaped Wilson Dorset’s first product range in 2004. Amanda, a Canterbury-born lawyer turned wool advocate, played an integral role in the rise of Icebreaker before co-founding Wilson Dorset to celebrate the natural beauty and versatility of sheepskin.
Discover Mora’s heritage as a second-generation, family-owned winery founded by the Skeggs family - pioneers in Central Otago wine since 1996. Today, Mora farms 90 hectares across six estate vineyards in Bannockburn and Pisa, crafting wines that invite you to pause and savour the moment.
Immerse yourself in an atmosphere of refined design and exceptional flavour. Limited tickets available. Secure your place for this unique collaboration.
