About this event

Christmas is a time for wonderful food, generous glasses and a little indulgence—so join St Vincent for a relaxed three-course meal accompanied by a carefully chosen line-up of exceptional festive wines.

You'll taste your way through the perfect Christmas Day, beginning as every celebration should: with Champagne. From there, we’ll enjoy a bone-dry Fino Sherry—crisp, refreshing and a brilliant pre-dinner aperitif served with a few nuts.

Then it’s time to take your seats for a delicious three-course meal prepared by the St Vincent kitchen.

To accompany the starter, they'll pour an elegant Premier Cru Chablis. For the main course—whether you choose traditional roast turkey or something different—they will compare two classic red wines: a beautifully expressive Red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir and a refined Claret from the Haut-Médoc.

We’ll also explore wine pairings for alternative Christmas dishes, so whether you’re a traditionalist, an adventurous eater or a vegetarian, you’ll leave with plenty of inspiration for your own festive table.

For dessert, you'll discover the gloriously rich Pedro Ximénez Sherry. Dark, sweet and wonderfully concentrated, it has earned its reputation as “Christmas pudding in a glass.”

And because no proper Christmas feast should end too quickly, you'll finish with a glass of Port and some blue cheese.
