EVENTS

Champagne is the king of sparkling wine! Yet it is certainly not the only character worth our attention in the world of sparkling wines. This summer afternoon in the wine cellar, we will delight in not only champagne but other wonderfully bubbly beverages, too. We will discover what they share with the king of drinks, and what sets them apart. We will explore the subtleties of their production and the delicate processes behind them. We will look into the etiquette of bubbles and discuss why this classic drink never goes out of style. And what dishes or appetizers pair best with sparkling wines? We will cover that as well. We look forward to welcoming all sparkling wine enthusiasts!

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.
