VINTNERS’ LUNCH AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS
Our sell-out Hearts of Gold Vintners’ Lunch on Sunday 4 July at the Lower Hutt Events Centre was an outstanding success. Aerial artists from Colossal enthralled us with their performance from silks hung from the ceiling, while piano man Shaun Preston got our toes tapping and up on the dance floor by the end of the day.
It was a pleasure to welcome back some of Wellington’s finest chefs who presented stunning cuisine, accompanied by fine wine and beverages:
• Sylvester Nair – Sarah Searancke Catering
• Yufei Xie – OLI & MI Kitchen
• Laura Greenfield – Field & Green
• Laurent Loudeac – Tartines French Cafe
• Jonathan Dowling – Soprano Petone
• Ashish Dhar – Sarin Hotels, Lower Hutt

For the 10th year running, Grant Henderson from Bayleys ran the live auction, which saw some spirited and generous bidding for donated items.
An astonishing $300,434 was raised on the day!
What an incredible difference this will make for patients, their families and whānau, living with a terminal or life limiting illness in the Hutt Valley.
The success of Vintners’ Lunch is due to so many people in our community. Thank you to the organising committee and volunteers. Thank you to all our amazing sponsors and supporters, along with the 373 guests who showed their heart of gold. We are truly grateful for your support.
Thank You!
