We were lucky enough to enjoy dinner at Harkham Wines new restaurant last Friday for its first night of service.

What stood out more even than the ambience and delicious food, was the passion of their team. Not only was the Shiraz the perfect compliment to the succulent beef skirt, it is a wine that you’ll feel good drinking!

Harkham passion for doing good through the Angel Foundation was evident as he proudly told us that part of the purchase of the wine would actually help build schools in developing countries overseas.
We loved hearing the story behind the artwork on the wine bottle and the child who had drawn it.

If your group is after a venue with a warm friendly vibe and the knowledge that their money is doing great things - get on into !
