SO/ Auckland has announced the creation of SO/ Wine Society: a collection of wine events, tastings, masterclasses and dinners to pique the curiosity of wine lovers—or those on their way to being there.
The SO/ Wine Society series starts later this May, beginning with a masterclass between FROMM Winery and SO/ Auckland. The FROMM Wine Tasting & Masterclass at SO/ Auckland will see four sessions hosted across two days: Friday, 24 May, at 5 pm and 6:30 pm and on Saturday, 25 May, at 4:30 pm and 6 pm.
Guests will taste nine of FROMM’s exquisite wines during this masterclass. It will take place at SO/ Auckland’s Harbour Society restaurant—a 15-storey high oasis with glittering views of the Waitemata Harbour.
More than a tasting, this event is a front-row ticket to the world of winemaking. FROMM’s lively Stephan Walliser will join from Marlborough to personally lead the sessions. Guests will be
provided with bespoke nibbles for the occasion, as well as their own notepad and pens to keep their impressions lingering.
SO/ Wine Society and its series of wine events were created to give palates and minds to be invigorated. With winter’s crisp evenings creeping into the city, they invite you to taste your way around the country and world—all from the heart of Auckland CBD.
“There are so many fantastic, lesser-known, even quirky wines, with great stories to tell,” shared Chef Roy Giam, SO/ Auckland’s Director of Culinary.
“We want to create moments to learn more about them in fun, curious ways. It’s an extension of our existing wine culture. Our library of 2000 handpicked wines—and growing—is a bit of a hidden gem. We pride ourselves in having unique, quality wines—be it by the glass or bottle, at HISO Rooftop bar or at our Restaurant. SO/ Wine Society events are another way to experience this.”
