Penfold’s Winemaker visits Dublin & Cork

Penfold’s Winemaker visits Dublin & Cork

Tom Portet, Winemaker with legendary Australian winery, Penfold’s, will visit Ireland in February to host wine dinners at two of Ireland’s leading food-lovers’ venues. 

The first of these dinners takes place in
The Restaurant @ Donnybrook Fair on Wednesday 23rd February. Tom then travels south to Shanagarry, Co. Cork on Thursday 24th February to host a dinner in Ballymaloe House. Chefs at both venues will create special menus to complement these iconic wines.

About Tom…
Tom comes from 10 generations of winemakers and so wine is truly in his blood. Growing up in Victoria, Tom honed his craft alongside his father Dominique, a winemaker from France. His first vintage outside of Australia was spent in Bordeaux. Tom later perfected his winemaking skills in Champagne & California’s Napa Valley

With one foot rooted firmly in tradition and the other trailblazing ahead to the future, Tom embodies the best in New and Old World winemaking philosophies.
