Cook Like a Pro this Father’s Day!

Your Hunter Valley Magazine

Aug 19, 2021

For those of you who don’t know Matt Dillow (as close as you’ll get to a celebrity Chef in the Hunter Valley!), he’s both chef and owner of The Deck Café, Gartelmann Wines, Matts Produce and he also runs personally guided food, wine and produce tours to Italy, New Zealand and Tasmania in his spare time.

And for those of you who do know exactly who Matt is – you’ll probably already be acquainted with his fabulous “Degustation to Your Door.”

This very popular service was created when COVID forced the temporary closure of The Deck Café. It became so successful that even when the restaurant is open again, the service is offered at various times throughout the year, including for our upcoming Father’s Day.

Degustation to Your Door is more than just a restaurant-quality takeaway. It is a fully immersible interactive experience that includes live-streamed cooking classes to aid in preparing and serving the food that has been ordered. Check out what’s on offer for Dad….

“Degustation to your Door” Father’s Day Long Lunch

with Gartelmann Wines and Saddlers Creek

Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th September 2021

Cook a 5-course dinner at home like a PRO!

Matt Dillow from The Deck Cafe Lovedale and Fernando Antao from Sabor in the Hunter Dessert Bar have put together a 5 course home delivered degustation menu that you at home will put together.

The team have created a lovely menu to bring out the best flavours of Gartelmann and Saddlers Creek Wines and will be easy for you to put together. Check out the “live” Face Book videos for each course on The Deck Cafe Lovedale’s Face Book page showing you how to put each course together.

Why not grab a group of friends together and organise a virtual dinner party.

We will be delivering your degustation packs to “Pick up points” on Friday 3rd September and Saturday 4th September to Sydney, Newcastle, Maitland, Singleton and local areas ready for you to cook up a storm on Saturday evening or Sunday Lunch.
