Sip, Savor & Connect: An Evening of Wine with Merlijn (12 Nov 2026)

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Join us for a relaxed evening of wine, food, and good company, hosted by chef and wine importer Merlijn. He'll walk us through eight wines (with a focus on his beloved German selections), sharing the stories behind the grapes, the regions, and the people who make them.

Whether you know your Riesling from your Spätburgunder or you're just here for the vibe, there's something for everyone. Expect plenty of tasting, a bit of learning, and a lot of good conversation.

To keep everyone happy between pours, there'll be snack platters with cheeses and sausages, fresh bread with toppings, and water on the table.
