On June 26, Jara by Martín Berasategui at The Lana – Dorchester Collection will host a one-night-only wine dinner in partnership with Penfolds, the acclaimed Australian wine house. This exclusive evening will be led by none other than Peter Gago, Penfolds’ chief winemaker, marking his first visit to the UAE in over a decade.

Set in the intimate surroundings of the three-toque Basque restaurant, the event promises a curated journey through Penfolds’ prestigious Luxury and Icon wine collections. A highlight of the evening will be the rare opportunity to taste two exceptional vintages of Penfolds’ legendary Grange: 1983 and 1991.

The wines will be thoughtfully paired with a six-course tasting menu designed by celebrated chef Martín Berasategui. Guests can expect refined Basque flavours meticulously crafted to complement each wine. Standout dishes include Berasategui’s signature Gilda served with Champagne Thiénot and Penfolds Cuvée Brut; piquillo peppers stuffed with cod alongside Yattarna Chardonnay; and Australian Wagyu steak tartare matched with St Henri Shiraz.

The grand finale will showcase the iconic Grange vintages, delivering a memorable finish to a night celebrating exceptional winemaking and culinary artistry.
