Our annual Fine Wine Dinner is an evening devoted to the enjoyment and discovery of fine wine. For this special dinner, we have deliberately ventured beyond the familiar territory of Bordeaux and Burgundy, instead turning our attention to some of the remarkable wines being produced in other great regions of the world. Our carefully curated selection brings together outstanding bottles from the Rhône, Alsace, Central Italy, California and Hungary – wines chosen for their pedigree, character and individuality, and which we believe deserve a place alongside the very finest.
The wines will take centre stage throughout the evening, accompanied by a four-course menu thoughtfully created by our head chef, Jon Herring, to complement them and allow each wine to show at its very best. It promises to be a fascinating journey through distinctive vineyards, mature vintages and different winemaking traditions, offering the chance to discover just how much the world of fine wine has to offer beyond its most famous names. With just 18 tickets available, the evening will be an intimate opportunity to enjoy some truly exceptional wines in the company of fellow wine lovers.
