Celebrating something special this spring?

If you’re looking for the perfect decadent dinner to mark the occasion, The Cove at Fota Island Resort is hosting just the treat.

On Wednesday, April 17th, the resort has planned a special feast with the charismatic couple responsible for the exceptional wines of Château Queyron Pindefleurs, Chantal and Peter Watts.

The vineyards of Château Queyron Pindefleurs are at the foot of the southern hills of the medieval city of Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux. The Fillon family has cultivated this terroir since 1937, producing acclaimed wines that are rich, balanced and harmonious.

In 2010 Chantal Fillon and her Australian husband Peter took over the family property of 14 hectares, bringing a fresh approach to both viticulture and winemaking.

The couple will be expertly partnering some of their wines with an intriguing seven-course menu designed by Tomasz Pawlak, Executive Head Chef at Fota Island Resort.

An opportunity to hear Chantal and Peter talk through their wine pairings with dinner in The Cove, wine served on the evening will include Château Queyron Pindefleurs Grand Cru 2016, described as “commanding” and “statuesque”, a wine with 97 Decanter points, and the only Bordeaux to make it through to Decanter’s Best in Show that year.

The pairings will also include the aromatic and powerful Château Queyron Pindefleurs Grand Cru 2018, and the brilliant 100% Merlot Le Jardin de Queyron Pindefleurs from 2019.

The evening begins with canapés and champagne at 7pm, followed by dinner in The Cove at 7.30pm. Tickets are €120 per person with very limited availability so reserve your table now here.
