Sir John Kirwan is the first to talk openly about his love affair with Italy...with Treviso in the region of Veneto in particular. Thankfully his wife indulges this passion – she was born there, so she understands the allure.
Over the last 30 years, John has had the pleasure of meeting local Distillers and Winemakers. People who bring others together, to enjoy quality food and wine – the Italian way! And he has set up his company JK.14 to bring those discoveries back to NZ to share with family & friends… and anyone who wants a taste of something special.
Join us for a six course traditional meets modern Italian long lunch. With food by Pasta and Cuore, matched with wines & liqueurs from the JK.14 range, hosted by Sir John Kirwan. Enjoy an afternoon of story-telling as JK takes us on a journey through Italy, showcasing the flavours and personalities he is so passionate about.
