Winemaker's Dinners at the French Saloon
Description
Ian Curley's food is much loved for its accessible approach and simple philosophy – he cooks the food he loves to eat, across all cuisines. His signature style, however, is European fare of the highest quality, with classic French underpinnings – a legacy from the rigorous training he received early in his career in the kitchens of London.
Winemaker’s Dinners at The French Saloon feature four courses and eight wines (two vintages with each course).
Classes are capped at 16 participants allowing for maximum interaction between guests and the featured winemaker all around one table.
A unique opportunity to explore the winemaker’s art and philosophy.
