Italian Long Lunch with JK

Italian Long Lunch WITH PASTA & CUORE AND JOHN KIRWAN 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. During the 30 years this affair has carried on, John has had the pleasure of meeting local Distillers & Winemakers. People who bring others together, to enjoy quality food & wine shared with friends & family – the Italian way! And he has set up his company JK.14 to bring those discoveries back to NZ to share with family & friends…..& anyone who wants a taste of something special. Join us for a six course home styled traditional Italian long lunch. With food by Pasta & 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.
