Savour a lavish five-course meal that is expertly matched with South Australia’s award-winning wines.
Prepare for a night of culinary wonder and wine sophistication at Alila Villas Uluwatu’s CIRE restaurant on 18 September 2024, as it presents an exclusive dining event in collaboration with the legendary Thorn-Clarke Wines. Set against the jaw-dropping ocean views that define this cliffside haven, this five-course feast by Executive Chef Derrick Walles promises to captivate the senses, with each dish thoughtfully paired with a selection of premium wines from Thorn-Clarke’s renowned vineyards in South Australia’s Barossa and Eden Valleys.
For over six generations, Thorn-Clarke Wines has perfected the art of winemaking, weaving the story of their family’s rich heritage with the distinctive characteristics of their Barossa terroir. This event brings that legacy to the heart of Bali, where the synergy between food and wine will be celebrated in an extraordinary evening.
Adding to the experience, Thorn-Clarke’s charismatic Chief Winemaker, Peter Kelly, will guide guests through the night’s pairings. With a passion for both education and winemaking, Peter’s expertise spans decades, having honed his craft at some of South Australia’s most iconic wineries. Since joining Thorn-Clarke in 2016, he has been at the helm of creating wines that balance tradition with innovation, and this event will showcase both the classic and contemporary expressions of their Barossa and Eden Valley vineyards.
The evening begins with a sparkling introduction: enjoy appetisers paired with Thorn-Clarke’s light, effervescent Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay, followed by the crisp brightness of their Sandpiper Riesling, inspired by the elegant migratory bird that calls their vineyards home each year.
From there, the culinary journey intensifies, with sumptuous dishes like Duck 2 Way and perfectly seared wagyu tenderloin. These rich, flavourful mains will be elevated by the deep, robust wines in Thorn-Clarke’s collection, including their crown jewel – the Ron Thorn Shiraz. This single-vineyard Shiraz, made only in exceptional years, is a tribute to the family’s deep roots and is a true reflection of Barossa’s celebrated winemaking tradition.
To conclude this extraordinary evening, a decadent dessert crafted from Bali’s prized Jembrana cocoa will be served with the refreshing twist of a Blood Orange Sparkling Brut Spritz – the perfect end to a night of indulgence.
Seats are limited for this one-of-a-kind event, so don’t wait—reserve your spot for a night of indulgence, elegance and unforgettable memories at one of Bali’s most stunning venues.
