EVENTS

Have you ever heard of a place called Gigondas? Or Cornas? Do you know how to decipher Pouilly-Fumé, or where it lies? Even if you have never heard of these French wine regions or villages, it does not mean they do not produce exceptional wine. During this Žolinės, before the concert by the renowned French pianist Jean-Marc Luisada, we will seek to transport ourselves to the lesser-known regions of France and discover their wines.

In the Paliesius Manor concert hall, Lars Danielsson will unveil the secrets of Nordic jazz—while we, in the Manor wine cellar, delve into French wines. An inviting journey through the world of French wine awaits you, guided by a beverage connoisseur who will illuminate its subtleties and answer your every question. We will travel from the north of France to the south, pausing to explore the wines of various regions, their distinct aromas, and hidden flavors. During this afternoon of open discovery, 6–8 different wines will await you, alongside captivating stories, newfound aromas and flavors, and warm, lively conversation. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend an afternoon slowly, deliciously, and meaningfully.

We invite you to an autumnal tasting of French wines. Together with our sommelier in the Manor wine cellar, we will taste four undiscovered wines from France—from a crisp sparkling to a richly sweet one. Autumn is the season of harvest, when nature yields the very best it has nurtured throughout the year. Grapes are no exception, having ripened their flavor in the sun since early spring. During the tasting, we will invite you to listen to the music of the wine—to discover its aromas, flavor harmonies, and stories. This will be a jazzy journey of taste toward new discoveries.
