Le Bouchon Breton is proud to announce a very special program of inspired food and wine pairing master classes. These will follow a seasonal calendar from March through to October and celebrates the marriage of fine ingredients, cleverly paired alongside some exceptional wines.

Let Le Bouchon Breton’s sommelier Donald Edwards take you on a monthly voyage of seasonally inspired gastronomy, stripping down the bare elements and flavours of particular ingredients and pairing each chosen dish with a wine handpicked with elan by our dynamic young master. Each master class will feature six different courses washed down with six different wines.

“I wanted to combine a class with a fine dinner, so that each month you get a relaxed take on the class room effect, learn a great deal, and yet at the same time have a fantastically luxurious dinner whilst enjoying seriously good wine” said Donald Edwards

Donald’s passion and deep respect for his subject combined with his original approach and natural enthusiasm towards food and wine pairing makes for a fascinating and memorable evening. Each of Donald’s pupils will spend the dinner contemplating the ingredient in question, cooked in six very different ways with the maestro explaining fully the wine pairings and what makes each one of them work.
