Summer is the season for long lunches with friends, insightful conversation and of course, a glass (or two!) of delicious wine. 

To celebrate the Summer of Gwen, Church Road would like to invite you to join them for an exclusive three-course lunch at Azabu Mission Bay in conversation with Shit You Should Care About Founder, Lucy Blakiston.

Led by Amber Baker, editor-in-chief at fashion and lifestyle magazine, Remix, the conversation will explore how Lucy has challenged the status quo and shaken up the popular culture of today through the platform Shit You Should Care About - a global phenomenon with 57,000 daily newsletter subscribers and 3.6 million IG followers. Lucy and Amber will discuss their unique pathways into journalism, with Lucy growing her platform via social media and Amber working in print. 

Upon arrival, guests will enjoy a Gwen Rose Spritz in the courtyard before being seated at 12:30. For lunch, guests will enjoy a shared style premium three-course lunch with mouth-watering options including a ceviche platter to start, salmon grilled on the new Robtata grill, miso lamb rump, and a fresh seasonal fruit platter with a decadent chocolate brownie for dessert, as well as a glass of the Gwen Rose, Gwen Pinot Gris and Gwen Chardonnay. 

Gwen is inspired by its namesake, a gracious and elegant woman who was a driving force of community and showed unwavering support for Church Road’s founder and her husband, Tom McDonald. Gwen’s graciousness and trailblazing spirit inspired the crisp, refined style of winemaking that the Gwen wine collection captures.

Like Gwen before them, both Lucy and Amber are trailblazers in their field, and we have no doubt you’ll be inspired by this insightful conversation over a crisp glass of Gwen and plate full of delectable cuisine. This is a dining experience not to be missed.
