Wine Event at Pentonbridge Inn - German Wine

Special Dinner - Pentonbridge Inn

If you think you know German wine think again!

German wine has changed dramatically in the last 30 years and provides some of the world's finest, lightest, longest-living whites and increasingly seductive reds. From the sweetest Beerenauslese to the driest Trocken. Paired with a bespoke menu from our head chef Christopher Archer, enjoy an evening of wine at Pentonbridge Inn.
