The Business Leaders Wine Club 18/9/2024

Greece is one of the oldest wine producing regions in the World and yet, so few get an opportunity to sample some her finest wines.  This evening will be dedicated to the rich and diverse wine heritage of Greece at the award-winning Nostos restaurant in Hove for an unparalleled experience in Greek gastronomy and viticulture.

Discover Greece’s Wine Heritage

We will immerse you in the flavours of four prominent Greek wine regions: Macedonia, Peloponnese, Crete, and Santorini. Each region offers unique characteristics and grape varieties that we will explore throughout the evening.

The evening includes:

• A welcome glass of Curators Cuvée 2018, Artelium Vineyard, East Sussex
• Six distinguished Greek wines to taste, paired expertly with an exclusive 3-course dinner crafted by Nostos’ head chef, Alex Tzimos, designed to pair with the wines.  See the menu and wine selections below.  Special dietary requirements can be catered for if requested a few days in advance.

An Evening of Networking and Insight

This event is not just about tasting exquisite wines and savouring fine food. It’s an opportunity to delve into the rich heritage of Greek viticulture, exploring the traditions and stories behind each wine and dish. Expect to leave with a deeper appreciation for this remarkable part of the world.

Bring a healthy appetite and get ready to share a unique networking experience with fellow wine and food lovers.
