Maxwell Wines has built a strong reputation for culinary creativity, with its restaurant named Gourmet Traveller’s South Australia Restaurant of the Year for 2024. Its approach blends a respect for provenance with bold, refined technique — values that resonate with Arthur’s philosophy. Since opening in 2018, Arthur has championed an ever-evolving menu that celebrates Australia’s best growers and producers, with Gwak leading the kitchen with precision and finesse.
Enjoy dishes such as smoked rainbow trout with chive and black garlic, pastrami-style short rib with burnt leek and cured egg yolk, and dry-aged quail filled with mushroom duxelle. A delicate carrot tartlet, layered with rosella and honey custard, closes the evening with a nod to both artistry and flavour.
With limited seats available, this one-off event offers a rare chance to experience two celebrated culinary teams working in harmony.
