Important News from the Cellar

b) Guests attending the event wish to purchase beverages that are not included in the package or tab on a cash basis
RUNNING A TAB
You nominate a selection of drinks for your guests, and a dollar limit, and we ll run a tab for you, waiterserving drinks all the while. You pay for the agreed minimum tab prior to your function and any additional
amount at the close of your function.
WINE TASTING DISPLAYS
Now here is a terrific way to entertain your guests, particularly those with an interest in all things grape.
Your wines can be presented in a stylish buffet-type tasting display so your guests can enjoy helping
themselves to the sampling wines with the guidance and supervision (and knowledge!) of our in-house
sommelier available on The Grand Cru Package only.
