Some evenings are simply in a class of their own, our Mayura + Magnum’s event is one of them.

First established in 1845, Mayura Station is a national award-winning boutique beef producer based in Millicent on South Australia’s Limestone Coast. A sustainable, vertically integrated full-blood Wagyu operation, every step from grain and fodder production through to breeding and finishing is controlled and traceable, with one goal in mind: beef of unrivalled texture, buttery flavour, and extraordinary tenderness. All natural, HGP and antibiotic free.

On Saturday 27th June at 7pm, The Stirling Hotel brings that beef to the Adelaide Hills across seven thoughtfully curated courses, each designed to draw something different from the previous and showcase the full range of what exceptional Wagyu can do.

And then there is the wine. Every course is partnered to a magnum from some of the world’s most revered wine regions, chosen to complement and elevate each dish. Wine aged in a larger vessel develops more slowly, arrives with greater complexity, and gives more at the table. The evening closes as it deserves to, with a 3-litre Jeroboam poured to mark a proper finale.

This is a dinner for those who appreciate the craft behind what is on the plate and in the glass. Dress smart in black and white, arrive hungry.

Some things are better experienced than described. Saturday 27th June is one of them.
