Fish Cookery Classes

A match made in foodie heaven – wine tasting meets cooking together…..we met the lovely folks from Delancia and an evening of wine tasting, cooking and eating together was born!

Through the evening, you will taste their 3 different sparkling wines while partaking in the usual Cooking Together style, working as a pair and cooking your starter and main course.  sociable foodie fun with a sparkling twist!

Tom and Inès will be co-hosting the event with our Team to talk about their wines and the journey.

When the vineyard faced an uncertain future, they stepped in. “Absolutely not” was the only answer. They started experimenting – botanicals, flowers, a kitchen still – originally dreaming of bottling their terroir into a gin. But the world already has enough wonderful gins. So they asked a different question: “what if we infused those botanicals directly into wine?” 

They took early batches to sommeliers and mixologists. The reaction was unanimous. Even the traditionalists raised an eyebrow. Cheers to that 🥂

Delância was born in 2025: a botanical sparkling wine built for modern celebrations and unrepentant day drinking. Zero sugar, 10% ABV, naturally low acidity. No fuss, just fun.

“Delinquir com elegância”. Breaking rules, beautifully.
