Wine Pairing Dinner with Maison Jaboulet

Tonight's dinner, in association with Maison Jaboulet and Richard Granger, Fine Wine Merchant, Newcastle upon Tyne, provides a taste of the Northern and Southern Rhone Valley.

Maison Jaboulet have been producing wine for nearly two centuries in the northern estates of the Cotes du Rhone and have mastered the art of vinification, blending and maturing. Whether you know a lot about wine or scarcely anything, this fun and relaxed evening will give you the great opportunity to discover one of the world's most esteemed winemakers.

The evening will encombass an informal wine tasting allowing you to discover the full range of Maison Jaboulet from their Vin de Pays to some of their classic vintages. This will be followed by a 5-course dinner with matching wines from the Rhone Valley.
