Society x Crittenden

Join winemaker Rollo Crittenden at the acclaimed Society Restaurant for a four-course dinner designed to complement the pre-release of the highly limited Cri de Coeur 2021 range of wines.

Rollo, along with chef Luke Headon, have carefully curated this gastronomic event to give you a fine dining experience to remember.

Each course will be matched to the Cri de Coeur range (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Savagnin and Macvin) along with other rare Crittenden wines, including some special back vintages. 

Society is a multi-faceted modern dining destination like no other. It’s the realisation of a vision by renowned restaurateur Chris Lucas (also of Chin Chin and Kisumé) and is considered one of Melbourne’s hottest dining spots at present. We are delighted to be partnering with Society Restaurant and excited to be able to present this experience to our club members and customers.

Taste the Jura at Frédéric

Join Rollo Crittenden & Australian Culinary Legend, Jacques Reymond for Dinner or Lunch at Frédéric.

You're invited to a very special dining experience at Frédéric, in Cremorne, Melbourne for dinner on 16 August or lunch on 21 August.

Jacques Reymond will return to the kitchen to serve a menu true to his place of birth in the Jura mountains of France.

The food is designed to pair perfectly with Crittenden's savagnin wines & yet-to-be releases Cri de Coeur Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines, plus a selection of Jura wines to highlight the unique characteristics of this lesser known part of France.

Rollo will guide you through the wines & flavours as he reveals Crittenden's own journey with the Jura & the evolution of our savagnin wines.

If you had the chance to read Max Allen's review of the Cri de Coeur wines, which he enjoyed over lunch at Frederic, you'll know this will be a dining experience you won't want to miss.
