Guests will be welcomed with canapés and a refreshing welcome drink, setting the tone for an evening of indulgence. The highlight of the night is a five-course tasting menu, meticulously crafted by Executive Chef Elliot Hill and his team to complement the wines from Château des Jacques. Each course will be expertly paired with a selection from this renowned estate, offering a perfect balance of flavours and aromas.

Beaujolais is a region steeped in history and distinguished by its unique terroir. The soils here, primarily composed of pink granite, date back 350 million years and contribute to the distinctiveness of the wines. The Gamay Noir grape, a key component in Beaujolais wines, thrives in these infertile soils, producing wines that are renowned for their vibrant fruit profile and delicate, silky texture.

Château des Jacques, acquired by Maison Louis Jadot in 1996, has a rich history intertwined with the broader Burgundian region. The estate's dedication to traditional harvesting methods and meticulous winemaking processes ensures that each bottle reflects the highest quality. From hand-picking the grapes to triage that selects only the finest berries, the craftsmanship at Château des Jacques is evident in every sip.

Whether you are a wine connoisseur or simply enjoy the finer things in life, our Beaujolais wine dinner promises an unforgettable experience. Secure your place at this exclusive event and immerse yourself in the flavours and history of one of France’s most cherished wine regions.
