Wine Tasting With 3 Course Lunch | Malmaison, Manchester

Description

Food and wine were meant to go together – and this tasting event proves it beyond any doubt.

From 11am-3pm, a truly indulgent afternoon. Guests will be welcomed with a lovely glass of fizz on arrival will get you in the mood, as will the gorgeous surroundings of the Ember Lounge at Manchester’s Malmaison. We’ll take you through a wine matching masterclass learning what makes food and wine work so well together and taste some amazing wine whilst doing that.

You’ll enjoy a delicious three course meal (Malmaison’s lunch is the stuff of legend) with two different wines to accompany each course so you can increase your knowledge. There’s also tea and coffee to round the afternoon off as well as your wine-matching card which includes all the wines you tried should you wish to find them again. This is a really popular event and an absolutely super treat for you or to give as a present.

We will be in touch with you a couple of weeks before the event as you must order your lunch from the menu in advance so that everyone can eat at the same time and that the event goes smoothly.

Here is an example of some of the past dishes on the menu. We cannot guarantee that all these exact dishes will be available as the chefs at Malmaison do change their menus with the seasons, however lucky attendees are sure to be delighted!

Have an allergy or dietary requirement? The seasonal menu always includes at least 1 vegetarian option for each course. Please let us know if you or any of your party has any other requirements, and we will work with Malmaison to provide suitable options for you.
