Winery By Night: An Unforgettable & Exclusive Evening for Bimbadgen Members

27 July, 2025

On Saturday 26 July 2025, an intimate group of 20 Bimbadgen Wine Club Members gathered for an exclusive sold-out event: the Winery By Night Signature Dinner, truly one-of-a-kind experience set deep within the heart of our working winery.

The evening began with elegant canapés and a glass of our 2023 Blanc de Blanc on arrival, setting the tone for what was to come. Guests were then welcomed by our newly appointed Winemaker, Sam Boyd, who personally led the group through a behind-the-scenes winery tour. From tasting wines straight from oak in the underground barrel room to walking through our press run, members enjoyed a rare look into the craftsmanship behind each bottle of Bimbadgen wine.

Awaiting them on the production floor was a spectacular long table set between the stainless steel vats, lit by candlelight, a truly striking setting for the five-course degustation to follow.

Prepared by Esca’s own Head Chef Raphael Martinez (affectionately known as Head Chef Rapha), each course was perfectly paired with hand-selected Bimbadgen wines by Sam.

The menu consisted of…

First Course: Oyster & beef tartare served in an oyster shell
Paired with Single Vineyard ‘Palmers Lane’ Semillon 2017
Second Course: Squid ink tagliatelle with nduja and whole lobster tail
Paired with Signature Chardonnay 2023 (Pre-Release)
Third Course: Wagyu striploin (marble score 8) with grilled wombok and ssamjang-glazed bone marrow
Paired with Single Vineyard ‘McDonalds Road’ Shiraz 2023 (Special Release)
Fourth Course: Shaved truffle cheddar & Danish blue with onion jam
Paired with Signature Shiraz 2018 (Museum Release)
Final Course: Purple yam gelato in a white chocolate nest with crème fraîche and honeycomb
Paired with Botrytis Semillon 2005 (Last of our cellared stock)

The atmosphere was glowing, equal parts intimate and indulgent. Members were full of praise for the evening, from the exceptional food and wine pairings to the immersive winery setting and rare access behind the scenes.

We can’t wait to welcome our members back for the next event.
