Celebrate English Wine Week with Hush Heath

Hush Heath is all set to celebrate English Wine Week (28 May-5 June) with a number of events; this campaign is designed to raise awareness of English wine across the country.

Owner Richard Balfour-Lynn will host two dinners at Hush Heath Hospitality venues in Kent, while sales director Hilary Green will welcome guests at establishments in Central London. During each wine dinner, guests will be guided through a tasting of five of Hush Heath Estate’s wines which includes two sparkling wines. The wines will each be paired with a dish from a carefully selected menu.

Each evening is priced at £25 per person and will begin at 7:30pm with a glass of award-winning Balfour Brut Rosé, followed by a three course dinner at one of Hush Heath Hospitality’s venues. (Please note that St Bart’s will be serving a crowd-pleasing selection of delicious canapés)
