An evening where exquisite food, unique wines, and fascinating stories come together around the table.
Following last year’s success, we are proud to once again welcome the award-winning winemaker Alexander Pflüger from the Palatinate region of Germany. With his strong focus on sustainability, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality, Pflüger has established himself as one of Europe’s most exciting winemakers. This year, we’ll also be joined by Natia Kurua from GVino, who will pair a distinctive Georgian wine with the evening’s main course. Georgia is considered the cradle of wine, with more than 8,000 years of winemaking tradition. The combination of German precision and Georgian craftsmanship creates a truly unique taste experience.
Throughout the evening, Alexander and Natia will share stories about the wines, the regions, and the people behind them. The experience is complemented by atmospheric musical entertainment. Soprano Ingrid Vetlesen has selected arias from opera and operetta that can be linked in various ways to the evening’s menu. Together with pianist Solveig Lie Refvik, she will perform these with style and a twinkle in her eye, settingthe perfect stage for an evening filled with flavor, knowledge, and good conversation.
Kilden's executive chef has created a five-course menu especially for the occasion, with each course carefully paired with the evening's wines.
