SUSSEX SPARKLING WINE TASTING AT THE CURLEW
The Curlew in Bodiam, East Sussex, is hosting a special wine dinner with Sussex vineyard Rathfinny on Thursday 23 June. Hosted by chef Will Devlin and Rathfinny’s brand ambassador, Richard James, the evening is part of English Wine Week (18-26 June) and will pair together Sussex ingredients with Sussex wines.
The evening will commence with a Rathfinny-inspired cocktail, followed by a four-course feast, perfectly paired with four Rathfinny sparkling wines. Brand Ambassador, Richard, will guide guests through the tasting notes of each wine and share an insight into the Rathfinny story.
The Rathfinny Feast costs £120 per person for all food, cocktail and four glasses of Rathfinny wine. The evening offers a chance to enjoy the best food and drink Sussex has to offer.
