Wine Dinner With Vineyard Owner

On Wednesday 3 April, just days before the 47th annual Vinitaly Exhibition gets underway in Verona, a taste of Italy is coming to FishWorks in Swallow Street, London, as one of Italy’s leading wine growers, Brandino Brandolini, personally presents his wines to diners.
Today Brandino’s wines, grown in Western Friuli, on the estate which has belonged to his family since 1780, include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Traminer and Friulano, Refosco and Vistorta Merlot which is one of the best Merlot’s from Northern Italy. However, during the evening, Brandino will outline his decision, back in the 1980s, to adopt a different model of wine growing, and explain how his resultant collaboration with a prominent French winemaker, transformed the face of the Brandolini wines.
Also on the night, wines produced by Primo Franco, also known as Mr Prosecco, will highlight how, whilst remaining true to tradition, modern day Prosecco can offer completely different styles.
The wines sampled during the evening have been selected to perfectly complement the stunning 5 course feast, devised by FishWorks award winning Executive Chef, Michael Brown, which heartily embraces the true taste of Italy, with amongst other delights, Clam Linguini with roast garlic, chilli & fresh parsley and of course, Tiramisu, on the menu!(full food and wine menu below)
Tickets for the evening, which commences at 6.30pm are priced at just £65 per person and are available on a first come, first serve basis. To book for the evening, which take place at FishWorks Restaurant in Swallow Street (0207 734 5813) on Wednesday 3 April, simply email [email protected] or contact the restaurant direct.
