For two decades, Hoddles Creek has held a special place in the hearts of wine lovers and critics alike. Campbell Mattinson of Australia’s Best Wineries didn’t mince words in 2025, declaring Hoddles Creek “the only must-buy producer of chardonnay and pinot noir on the Australian market” and a “Ten Star Winery.” The reason is simple: the striking and consistent quality and value they deliver year after year.
Now, for the very first time in the UK, we are thrilled to offer a unique opportunity to experience this mastery firsthand.
Join us at The Greyhound on the Test for a special tutored tasting led by the visionary winemaker himself, Franco D’Anna.
This is more than just a tasting; it’s a journey into the heart of Victoria’s Yarra Valley. Franco will guide us through a curated selection of eight exceptional wines, including four of his acclaimed Chardonnays, his intriguing Pinot Gris, and three of his beautiful Pinot Noirs. As we taste, Franco will share his insights into grape-growing and winemaking, bringing each bottle to life with his expertise and passion.
This is a rare and unmissable chance to hear directly from a master of New World Chardonnay and Pinot.
