Here be Dragons………. 🐉

​

Wine Dinner

​

​

In days gone by people didn't know very much about the world or indeed even that it was round.  

Maps that did exist would show what was then known but on 

the edge of these maps mapmakers would draw dragons to represent lands unknown, hence the expression "Here be dragons."

​​

So with this in mind join us on a wine journey of discovery, leaving traditional vineyards behind and travel with us to perhaps

lands less well known, will there be dragons?

​​

Presented by Alistair Gibson of Heritage Cellars, who has collected a range wines from wine regions less well travelled and then matched with a 4-course menu devised by Chef Gary Pearce and his team.

 ‘Portugal - A Fresh Take’ Wine Dinner

​

​

The last few years has seen Portugal emerge as perhaps currently the most exciting wine destination in Europe. A host of indigenous grape varieties, a wealth of old vineyards and an energy amongst wine makers to establish themselves and their wines overseas has led to Portugal being the ‘flavour’ of the moment. Hosted by Clive Ashby, who has put together a range of wines from across Portugal which will be matched with a 4 course menu devised by Gary Pearce and his team, the promises to be a fascinating evening of Portuguese influenced food and wines.

7.15 for 7.30pm
£92 per person includes a 4-course dinner,
canapés, and a glass of wine with each course,

with coffee and petit fours
