Thursday 2nd October, 7pm – 11pm
Although summer may have wound-down we are transporting you for one evening only to Greece, and the island of Crete, with this winemaker tasting showcasing the wines of Lyrarakis. Founded in 1966 this family owned and run estate sits in the mountainous region of Alagni, where their primary focus (alongside making exceptional, delicious wines) is to revive rare, almost extinct, indigenous grape varieties such as Dafni, Plyto, and Melissaki.
Effie Kallinikidou of Lyrarakis will guide us through a remarkable range of wines that speak of both Greek history and the Cretan terroir. The selection will including white, rosé, and red along with a highly hedonistic dessert wine, all paired with a menu from Head Chef Luke Mckenna. For devotees of Greece this is a must!
Menu:
Traditional Fasoloda soup with croutons and feta crisp
Lamb Moussaka with Greek couscous and olive salad
Hazelnut and pistachio Baklava with roasted figs and vanilla ice cream
