Description

Join us at two AA rosette The Forge Chester for an intimate lunch featuring some amazing wines from around Wales to celebrate Welsh Wine Week 2025!

Welsh Wine Week is a fantastic event that helps wine lovers across the UK connect with independent Welsh vineyards and wine retailers. Wine School of Cheshire are proud to members of Wines of Great Britain (WineGB) who put together Welsh Wines Week to celebrate the success and superb flavours of Wines produced across Wales. We will of course feature the closest Welsh vineyard to us, our great friends at Gwinllan Conwy as well as Whitecastle from Abergavenny and many more!

We’ll welcome you with a glass of quality Welsh sparkling wine and each course will be paired with a different wine from some of the different Welsh wine regions where the spoils are just as complex as those of Burgundy in France thus creating unique and amazing flavours in every wine.

The Forge is within Chester’s Hotel Indigo and Executive Chef Dan Regan was awarded two AA rosettes in early 2024. Dan previously worked at the two Michelin-starred Ynyshir under Chef Patron Gareth Ward and we can’t wait to share Dan’s culinary skills and sensational dishes with our guests! The Forge works with some incredible suppliers which includes acclaimed butcher Aubrey and Allen who have recently been awarded a Royal Warrant by His Majesty The King.

With an emphasis on wild produce and sustainability, the open kitchen at The Forge cooks over wood and charcoal with meats aged on the premises. Oak, Ash and Beech from local forests provide the fuel, imparting extraordinary flavour into the beef, fish, lamb, game and venison on the menu.

Richard will welcome you with a glass of Welsh traditional method sparkling wine, then there’s a different Welsh wine paired with every course of lunch to look forward to and another Welsh red to finish the afternoon!

Take home your bespoke and invaluable wine tasting notes book and gift bag for future reference which features all the facts about our wine selection which are sourced from a range of local and online specialist stores such as Tanners Wines, Waitrose, DeFine Food and Wine, The Wine Society, Laithwaites and M&S. We don’t sell any wine at our events so there’s no hard sell at the end.
