Fashion Flavours at Cloudy Bay’s NZFF Designer Olive Bar
In true pioneering spirit, Cloudy Bay has partnered with two highprofile New Zealand fashion designers to create the ultimate winter accessory, at one of the official on-site bars during New Zealand Fashion Festival.
The designers of top fashion labels COOP and moochi have come together with Jamie Miller from Mint Kitchen and crafted a unique olive flavouring that brings to life the Festival’s ‘fresh’ theme and matches the texture and hues that Cloudy Bay wines are famous for.
Set in the contemporary chic dining room of Jamie Miller’s James Restaurant in Parnell, the designers sipped on Cloudy Bay wine and carefully sampled variations of marinated olives to come up with their final creation – a stunning orange, cardamom and vanilla flavour.
This stylish touch for NZ festival-goers will be a complimentary gesture with every glass of Cloudy Bay purchased. The one-off tasting experience launches today, the same evening that both designers showcase their collections. Available until Friday 2nd of March, the Cloudy Bay Designer Olive Bar is located at the centre of all the action in Shed 10 on Queens Wharf.
