Hunter Valley icon First Creek Wines brings its cellar door to the city for the first time, popping up inside Crystalbrook Kingsley’s stylish lobby bar, Ms Mary, as part of Newcastle Food Month.
Recently named Halliday Winemaker of the Year and NSW Wine of the Year, First Creek arrives with an award-winning tasting flight that is sure to impress.
Indulge in a flight of four wines aptly named “Ask for NSW Best”, which together have amassed an incredible seven trophies, including NSW Wine of the Year, NSW Best White Wine, NSW Best Chardonnay, NSW Best Alternative Wine, and NSW Best Rosé.
Settle in at your own pace and sip your way through the flight in the relaxed elegance of Ms Mary. With a beautiful outdoor terrace, striking architectural design, and a distinctly Newcastle energy, it is the perfect setting for a city cellar door moment that feels both polished and approachable.
Elevate your tasting with a selection of thoughtful bites curated by Crystalbrook Kingsley Executive Chef Joey Ingram, designed to complement the wines and encourage lingering a little longer.
Whether you arrive with a practiced palate or simple curiosity, this is an invitation to slow down, discover, and savour some of the state’s most awarded drops, right in the heart of the city.

Back by popular demand—and bigger, bolder, and even more delicious for 2026. After another sell-out and an afternoon people are still talking about, Perfect Match returns to do what it does best: great food, great wine, and a very good time. Ravella and Alfie’s are thrilled to celebrate another year together the only way we know how: with incredible food, exceptional wine and a room full of people who love both.
For Newcastle Food Month 2026, Ravella and Alfie’s once again unite in holy hospitality matrimony (venue + caterer), but this year we’re turning things into an all-out Battle of the Wine Regions. This year’s Perfect Match is all about seeing how different places, styles and personalities show up in the glass. From rich and generous to fresh and elegant, each winemaker will bring their own take on what makes a wine the perfect partner to food.
We’re welcoming three brilliant winemakers and dear friends:
Harrison Medley of Gunpowder Wines (Hunter Valley)
Michael Archer of Dawning Day Wines (Southern Highlands)
Richard de Beaurepaire of De Beaurepaire Wines (Rylstone)
Each will champion their region, their climate and their wines - and pour their very best to prove their case.
Taste, debate and vote as one region is crowned the ultimate Ravella x Alfie’s Perfect Match 2026.
Which wine will steal your heart?
There’s only one way to find out.
Will cool, calm and collected prevail over rich, bold and charismatic? Quiet confidence or main-character energy? Will fresh and vibrant outshine big and generous?
Join us in Ravella’s stunning Main Hall for a long lunch of good food, great wine and lively debate as three outstanding Australian regions go head-to-head. Expect flavour, flair and a little friendly rivalry.
Your ticket includes:
5-course shared Italian feast by Alfie’s Executive Chef, Rafael Tonon
Perfectly matched wines from three standout Australian producers:
Gunpowder Wines Hunter Valley
Dawning Day Wines Southern Highlands
De Beaurepaire Wines Rylstone
