The Cliff House Hotelin Ardmore, Co Waterford, will hold a wine dinner on Wednesday, September 16th, hosted by Tim Kirk of Clonakilla Vineyards in Canberra.
This is one of the most highly rated “new” wineries in Australia. The Kirk family originally owned a farm of the same name in Co Clare.
The dinner will include a seasonal three-course meal, five tasting wines, and coffee. A wine dinner is €90 per person, although a special wine-dinner package – to include wine dinner, bed and breakfast – for two people at €330 sounds more enticing. Book with the Cliff House Hotel, tel: 024-87800.
Donnybrook Fairwill hold a higher-level wine course in the new food and wine room above their Morehampton Road shop. Led by the experienced Paul Coleman, this six-week course will cover six classic styles of wine, and includes food and wine matching.
The course starts on November 3rd. To book, ring Paul on 087-7621033, or the wine department in Donnybrook on 01-6683556 (ext 212), or e-mail offlicence@donnybrook fair.ie.
