1976 saw a
seismic shift in the world of oenology. At that year’s Paris Wine Tasting,
Californian wines beat French wines for the first time in a blind tasting – and
the world’s fascination with New World vintages began. Celebrate the breakthrough
at The Vineyard in Berkshire. The wine hotel is offering a tasting menu with
seven exceptional curses – from guinea fowl and parsley terrine to Lyme Bay
skate wing – accompanied by a glass of both Californian and French wine, served
blind once you’ve delivered your own verdict to the sommelier, head to the bar
for a night cap, where you’ll find a giant mural entitled The Judgement of Paris along adorning the
wall.
The Judgement of Paris dinner includes seven courses with
wine (the-vineyard.co.uk). all
rooms have a lounge area and deeply comfortable beds and there’s a spa and
treatment room (the-vineyard.co.uk).
Stockcross is off the A34, leading off the M4. The nearest
train station is in Newbury; services run from London Paddinton, Reading,
Penzance and Bristol (firstgreatwestern.co.uk).
