A review to the 3rd Winemakers’ Gala with Big Bottle Party and Winemakers’ Dinner on 7th December

The Winemakers’ Gala was set to take place for the 3rd time on 7th December. As the first highlight at the start of the new season, the evening had become an integral part of our winter calendar of events. Together with five top winemakers amid a cosy, laid-back living-room ambience we’ve enjoyed a convivial evening and savour some truly superb wines. All five experts had their personal favourites with them in magnums, hence the name of the prelude to the gala – the ‘Big Bottle Party’ – held in the hotel foyer and at the Blue Bar.

These have been the delectable treats available for tasting at this year’s Big Bottle Party:
