Wine of the Loire Valley Dinner - with Freddie Rae x Enid Grace

Spend an evening with Freddie Rae and Enid Grace as we wander through the Loire Valley — a region shaped by freshness, elegance, and complexity.

🕖 7:00PM 📅 Friday, 3rd July 📍 24B Station Road, Hillier — Prince Edward County

Over the course of the evening, we’ll taste through six wines, beginning with a glass of Loire Valley sparkling — something bright and celebratory to set the tone.

Led by former sommelier and winemaker Freddie Rae, the night will unfold as a flowing narrative — part story, part deep dive — weaving together the people, places, and philosophies behind each bottle. Expect insight without pretension, and a sense of discovery that carries from the first glass to the last.

Alongside this, Enid will bring a series of exquisite, regionally inspired dishes to the table, each one thoughtfully composed to echo and elevate what’s in the glass.

We’ll move from a coastal, saline Muscadet into the lifted aromatics and fine tension of Sancerre, before settling into the layered, expressive world of Chenin Blanc from Vouvray. As the evening deepens, we’ll shift into reds — including a Sancerre Rouge, offering a more delicate, Pinot Noir expression of the region — and the vivid, earthy charm of Cabernet Franc from Chinon.

Expect candlelight, a full table, and an atmosphere that hums with conversation — an evening that balances depth with ease, where learning and pleasure move together, and the Loire reveals itself slowly, glass by glass. 🍷✨
