Over a decade ago, wine commentator Roy Moorfield created The Duck Crawl, a leisurely wander between Melbourne’s Chinatown restaurants to experience the unbeatable combination of duck enjoyed with Victorian Pinot Noir. In 2006 Marylands Country House embraced his concept with the Duck Crawl Convention, hosted by Roy, featuring Pinot Noir wines from throughout Victoria together with sensational food created by our Executive Chef, Martin Bainbridge.
