Wednesdays - Meet the Ambassador

Transport your palate to the heart of Sicily and beyond every Wednesday at Village Wines.

We are proud to host Lucas, the official Brand Ambassador for world-renowned Donnafugata, as well as Martoccia, Fabiano and Montelvini (Italy), Chateau Carmenere (France), Siglo (Spain) and from NZ, Maxim Wines, with their Hawkes Bay Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. A good friend of John Porter, he is also a big fan of their Martinborough Pinot Noir, their entry-level Kereru being another of our regular best sellers.

Beyond the vine, he also imports world-class Balsamic Vinegars from Modena, hand-selected for their rich heritage and flavour; Donnafugata Olive Oil made from 100-year old vines; and supports the local wool industry recommending merino wine sleeves for sustainable gifting.

Bringing such a wealth of knowledge, Lucas isn't just an expert, he's a storyteller. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a curious beginner, stop by to taste the wines and get firsthand knowledge of the regions, winemakers, producers and how to elevate your next meal or occasion.

No bookings required, just drop in between 10am and 7pm to sip, sample and shop some of the world's finest.
