An Evening of French Wines and Flavours – 10 Wines and Five Courses

This time it won't be just a classic tasting. The main theme of the evening will be wine and food pairing. We will select each wine so that together with the prepared course it creates a balanced flavour experience and shows how wine and food can complement each other perfectly.

During the evening we will together visit five major wine regions of France. We will taste wines from Alsace, the Loire Valley, Burgundy, Provence and Bordeaux. Each region will be presented through a selected wine and a dish inspired by French gastronomy.

We will begin the evening with French Camembert cheese. This will be followed by escargots à la française and traditional Alsatian tarte flambée. The main course will be Daube provençale, slowly braised meat in wine with Provençal herbs, served with silky potato purée. The entire evening will conclude with a French dessert.

We will guide you through the individual wines, regions and the principles of their pairing in the form of a pleasant commented evening. You will learn why we chose these particular combinations, what distinguishes the individual wine regions and how the right wine can enhance the flavour of food.

The programme will also include sabrage, the ceremonial opening of a bottle with a sabre, and live music to complement the atmosphere of a summer evening at Le Mimosa.
