JK.14 Wines Masterclass

What happens when a New Zealand rugby legend falls in love with Italy? JK.14 Wines.

Born from decades of friendship, family connections, and a passion for sharing the best of Italian food and wine, JK.14 Wines is more than a wine brand. It is a celebration of the Italian lifestyle, where great wine, exceptional food, and meaningful conversation come together around the table. The JK.14 story is deeply connected to Treviso, the Kirwan family's Italian home, and the region that inspired a lifelong love affair with Italy's people, culture, and winemaking traditions.

Inspired by the Kirwan family's roots in northern Italy, JK.14 Wines brings together a carefully curated collection of wines sourced from passionate producers across some of Italy's most celebrated wine regions. From the rolling hills of Veneto to the historic vineyards of Valpolicella and beyond, each wine has been selected for its character, authenticity, and sense of place.

Join us as we explore the regions, traditions, and stories that have shaped the JK.14 journey. Italy's rich winemaking heritage stretches back thousands of years, yet at its heart remains a simple philosophy: wine is best enjoyed with family, friends, and great food. These values are reflected in every bottle, creating wines that are approachable, expressive, and unmistakably Italian.

Throughout the evening, you'll discover a selection of wines that showcase the diversity and charm of Italy's wine culture. From elegant Prosecco and vibrant whites to beautifully structured reds, each wine offers a glimpse into the people, places, and traditions behind the label.

We are delighted to welcome Luca Kirwan as your host for the evening. Sharing his family's passion for Italy and the stories behind JK.14 Wines, Luca will guide us through a carefully selected range of wines while offering personal insights into the people, regions, and experiences that have inspired the collection.

Join us for a Masterclass Style Tasting that celebrates the very best of Italy through the eyes of a Kiwi family who fell in love with its culture and wines. Expect exceptional wines, fascinating stories, and an unforgettable journey through some of Italy's most treasured wine regions.

An evening of Italian hospitality, incredible stories, and exceptional wines awaits. 🍷
