Wine & Dine Dinner – Bellbird Hotel x Briar Ridge Winery
📅 Tuesday 28th October | 7 PM
💲$70 per person

The Bellbird Hotel invites you to a night of flavour, fun, and Hunter Valley hospitality with a five-course dinner paired to premium wines from Briar Ridge Winery.

You’ll begin with a refreshing vodka soda on arrival before moving into five crafted courses, each designed to complement the wines being poured.

The Menu & Pairings

1. Hand-Cut Salt & Pepper Squid with Wild Rocket Salad
Paired with 2023 Stockhausen Semillon
“This Hunter Semillon has that lemon-lime freshness to really lift the squid, with a clean finish so the rocket salad stays vibrant.”

2. Charred Pork Pinchos with Spinach & Feta Salad
Paired with 2024 Squires Chardonnay
“The Chardonnay softens the smoky char of the pork and picks up that creamy feta — elegant but not overpowering.”

3. Albóndigas con Gravy Criollo (meatballs in spiced sauce)
Paired with 2024 Single Vineyard Dairy Hill Shiraz
“This Shiraz has an elegant spice that echoes the Criollo sauce and enough body to balance the richness of the meatballs.”

4. Chicken Supreme with Creamy Mushroom Glaze, Beetroot Hummus, Chats & Carrots
Paired with 2024 Cold Soaked Cabernet Sauvignon vs 2024 Limited Release Malbec
“Both wines bring a savoury, earthy layer that marries with mushroom and beetroot — more adventurous in pairing.”

5. Apple Rhubarb Cake with Berry Compote (GF/DF)
No wine served — pours topped up from your favourites earlier in the night.
