Delifonseca Stanley Street set to host a selection of fine wine evenings

Delifonseca Stanley Street is preparing to wine and dine its guests with a variety of quality wine evenings.

Situated in the award-winning venue’s ‘downstairs’ bar, the unmissable line up will celebrate some great wines from across the globe and most importantly host the wine-makers and suppliers who create them.

To accompany the wine talk, a series of paired set menus have been created to compliment the various wines being quaffed and discussed.

Proprietor Candice Fonseca said: “We have got a brilliant sequence of forthcoming wine events, which will certainly go down a treat with our guests. As well as featuring home-grown produce, fantastic global wines will also be showcased.

“Having a wine expert host the event, with intimate knowledge of how that wine is produced is always fascinating. Guests not only get to taste good wine and food they get to discuss and learn more about both the wine but also their own tastes, often trying varietals that they wouldn’t usually choose. We create the ‘tapas’ style menu to deliberately complement the wines but in the end taste is always personal so there are usually some lively debates!”

Following the success of the inaugural Argentinean wine night, which took place last week (July 24) - on Wednesday, August 13, John Budd from Hallgarten Druitt Wines will explore some of the increasingly prestigious English still and sparkling wines.

Concluding the trio in great style on Monday, September 8, Delifonseca will welcome one of California’s most highly praised wineries, Bogle Winery, for a night filled with all things American.

Candice added: “We look forward to welcoming both new and familiar faces for an evening packed with fine wine and culinary wonders. Our wine events have always received such a great response from the public - therefore we are certain that the forthcoming occasions will be highly enjoyable, sociable and educational.”

The English wine night will take place on Wednesday, August 13 from 7:30pm and is priced at £39.95 per person. The Californian wine night will take place on Monday, September 8 from 7:30pm and is priced at £29.95 per person.

A non-refundable £10 deposit is required and a discretionary 10% service charge will be added to parties of 6 or more.
