Set within Centennial’s Cellar Door, guests will gather among the barrels at 7pm on Thursday 1 October 2026 for an intimate evening of flavour, conversation and exceptional cool-climate wines. Moran will present six refined, seasonal bites, each thoughtfully paired with premium wines from the estate, offering a rare opportunity to experience his produce-led approach up close.
One of Australia’s most celebrated chefs, Matt Moran is also a restauranteur and farmer who has long championed regional NSW, building his reputation on his hands on experience and relationships with local farmers, seasonal produce and exceptional ingredients.
