By the glass takeover
Imagine savouring a flight of carefully selected wines, each one personally introduced and explained by the passionate winemaker who crafted it. It's like a mini wine dinner where you can ask questions, explore the winemaking process, and gain insights directly from the source.
This is a rare opportunity to connect with a winemaker on a personal level. Get an insider's perspective on the wines you're enjoying and discover the stories behind each bottle.
We will be showcasing the best of the producer's offerings. Let the winemaker guide you through their selections, ensuring a perfectly paired and educational lunch experience.
