The Byron Bay Champagne Club’s next soiree is one not to miss. Sarah Swan of 100 Mile Table has an exquisite menu matched with five different champagnes, all from Champagne Vadin-Plateau, a family-run enterprise in the heart of the great valley of the Marne near Épernay, the capital of Champagne. Since 1785, a passion for wine and its cultivation has been transmitted from generation to generation and continues today to Yann, the ninth generation. 

This is the second boutique food-and-champagne event organised by Remy Tancred and Jane Thomson. 

Friday 26 July: see www.byronbaychampagneclub.com.
