(WHERE) Times New Roman, 66 Lygon St, Brunswick East
(COST) $55 per person

For our final event of the year, Owen Latta is coming to dinner. On December 2 we’ll be taking over Times New Roman and matching Owen’s outstanding Eastern Peake and Latta Wines with TNR’s very best snacks and pasta. 

We’ll hear from Owen, talk and taste through five of his wines and finish it all off with an amaro back at the shop. 

Five wines, two courses and special wine prices available on the night.

(ABOUT OWEN)

Owen Latta was 15 when his dad, Norman, tripped over a hose in the winery and copped a serious concussion. Someone had to make the wine that year, so Owen did.

Twenty years later he’s still in the cellar at Eastern Peake, the family vineyard out near Ballarat, making the pinot and chardonnay that won him 2025 Young Gun of Wine and 2018 Gourmet Traveller Wine Young Winemaker of the Year.

Latta Vino is his other label, made from a patchwork of mates’ vineyards across Western Victoria. That’s how you end up with Pyrenees cab franc, old vine Moonambel blanc and a sparkling lagrein he’s called Blampbrusco.

Come share a meal, pick Owen's brain and kick off the festive season with Drop Shop.
