ayala Champagne

Wine Dinner 

​

A fantastic opportunity to join Laurence Alamanos from Champagne Ayala, one of the oldest of all the Champagne producers. Established in 1860 and one of the founders of the ‘Syndicate of the Grande Marques’, Ayala was bought by Champagne Bollinger in 2005 which was the start of a resurgence for the House with a complete restoration of the winemaking facilities and the definition of the AYALA style: purity and elegance. Laurence Alamanos will guide guests through some amazing wines, which will include some still wines from the Bollinger family, over a specially selected four- course gourmet dinner devised by Gary Pearce and his team. This promises to be a wonderful evening of fine wine and food. These evenings are always very popular and so early booking is recommended.

 

7.15 for 7.30pm

 £95 per person includes a 4-course dinner,

canapés, coffee and a glass of wine with each course

Yalumba Wine Dinner - SOLD OUT

​

​​​​

Yalumba, based in the Barossa Valley, was founded in 1849 which makes it Australia’s oldest family owned winery and this year celebrates its 175th anniversary - an amazing achievement. It is still owned today by the Hill Smith family and we are delighted to welcome 6th Generation Lucy Hill-Smith to host a wine dinner at 36 On the Quay. As well as working closely with growers in the Barossa, Yalumba has its own estate vineyards in both the Barossa and Coonawarra and produces some of Australia’s most highly regarded wines. Yalumba is also the only winery in the southern hemisphere to have its own on-site cooperage and it has maintained its own vine nursery since 1975.  This should be a very special evening indeed, so come and join Lucy Hill-Smith and taste a range of wines from this unique winery, matched with a 4 course menu prepared by Chef Gary Pearce and his team. 
These evenings are always very popular and so early booking is recommended.

​The Christmas Seafood Supper 

Much like Emsworth’s famous Lobster Pot Christmas Tree,

our ‘Christmas Seafood Supper’ has very much become part of Emsworth's Festive Celebrations. 
So to celebrate the Lobster Pot Christmas Tree and Emsworth’s fishing heritage join us for a special 4-course gourmet seafood dinner which has been devised by Chef Gary Pearce and his team.

Each course will be accompanied by a wine specially selected by local wine raconteur Alistair Gibson. The festivities will start with a glass of sparkling wine on arrival and then over the course of the evening Alistair will give guests a little background on each of the wines and why they were chosen to match the menu and the dinner will conclude with a glass of festive Port.

7.15 for 7.30pm
£90 per person includes a 4-course dinner,
canapés, and a glass of wine with each course and a glass of Port

with coffee and petit fours

Here be Dragons………. 🐉

​

Wine Dinner

​

​

In days gone by people didn't know very much about the world or indeed even that it was round.  

Maps that did exist would show what was then known but on 

the edge of these maps mapmakers would draw dragons to represent lands unknown, hence the expression "Here be dragons."

​​

So with this in mind join us on a wine journey of discovery, leaving traditional vineyards behind and travel with us to perhaps

lands less well known, will there be dragons?

​​

Presented by Alistair Gibson of Heritage Cellars, who has collected a range wines from wine regions less well travelled and then matched with a 4-course menu devised by Chef Gary Pearce and his team.

​

7.15 for 7.30pm

4-course dinner, canapés, coffee with petit fours,

and a glass of wine with each course
