Fladgate Family Wines
Fladgate Family Wines has more than three centuries of history and is behind some of the most celebrated names in Port, including Taylor’s, Fonseca and Croft. Throughout the evening, Andre will guide guests through an exceptional selection, sharing the stories, heritage and craftsmanship behind the wines and Ports being poured. Whether you already have a passion for Port or would simply like to discover more, this will be a relaxed, informative and thoroughly enjoyable evening celebrating great wine, great food and more than 300 years of winemaking heritage.
An evening of Port and so much more
The evening begins with a glass of Colinas Cuvée Reserve Blanc de Blancs, before moving through a specially created menu from The Food Cellar, with each course accompanied by carefully selected wines and Ports.
Among the highlights will be the Chef’s Tasting Selection paired with a trio of Port from Taylor’s, Fonseca and Croft, followed by Bella Elegance Touriga Nacional 2019 and Dom Bella Cabernet Franc 2015 with our slow-cooked leg of lamb. Dessert will be accompanied by Taylor’s 20 Year Old Tawny Port.
And we’re saving something particularly special for the end of the evening. Our artisan cheese selection will be served alongside the magnificent Taylor’s Vintage Port 2007 – an exceptional Vintage Port and a fitting finale to what promises to be a memorable night.
We believe this represents exceptional value for an evening of this calibre, bringing together a specially created multi-course menu, an outstanding line-up of wines and Ports, and the opportunity to enjoy them in the company of an expert from Fladgate Family Wines.
