Following a January pause to recover from the holidays, we’re ready to kick off our series of 2025 event adventures. I’m proud to welcome James Lindner, Proprietor at Langmeil, a historic 1842 Barossa Valley winery, home to what is believed to be the world’s oldest shiraz vineyard, The Freedom 1843.

At Langmeil, the Lindner family strives for excellence in both the vineyard and winery, to produce wines that sit amongst the world’s best at prices everyone can afford.

The renowned Australian wine writer, James Halliday AM, in his Australian Wine Companion, rates Langmeil a ‘five red star’ winery. And in 2014, Langmeil’s flagship wine, The Freedom 1843 Shiraz, joined the prestigious Langton’s Classification VI honour roll in the ‘excellent’ category.

Langmeil’s elegant Chardonnay will be served at a welcome reception with hors d’oevres, followed by three flights of distinctive red wines, complemented by an appropriately paired multi-course menu specially curated for the evening by French Club Chef de Cuisine, Lionel Balbastre.
