| The Cove |
The Cove at Fota Island Resort is the resort’s intimate fine dining restaurant, quietly luxurious and elegant, where the food on the plate is a sophisticated bringing together of ancestral flavours, foraged elements and meticulous technique, in the heart of east Cork.
On Wednesday 17th April, The Cove hosts a special wine dinner with the charismatic couple responsible for the exceptional wines of Château Queyron Pindefleurs, Chantal and Peter Watts. They will be exquisitely partnering some of their wines with an intriguing seven-course menu designed by Tomasz Pawlak, Executive Head Chef at Fota Island Resort.
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.
An opportunity to hear Chantal and Peter talk through their wine pairings with dinner in The Cove, this 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. A luxurious stay on the night at five-star Fota Island Resort is €165 b&b for single occupancy or €185 for double occupancy. Book tickets via https://www.eventbrite.com/e/
