and nuts, all smoothly integrated with creamy oak, baked apples and marzipan. Heavenly Hampshire bubbly from a fabulous year.
Local produce grower Flourish invites you to its On Fire feast on 25 June, to celebrate midsummer – the time of year when crops begin to ripen and farmers find brief respite between the frenzy of spring planting and autumn harvest. Seated at long banquet tables and surrounded by birdsong, you’ll be treated to four courses by Steak & Honour and The Modern Table, who’ll be cooking up a feast over fire using seasonal produce from the farm. Wylde Sky Brewing provides plenty of refreshment and there will be cheese and wine from Meadows, too. On arrival, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink, specially created by Sam Adams using botanicals from the farm. A guest DJ will supply plenty of tunes to fuel the merriment well into the night. Tickets cost £65 per person. flourishproduce.co.uk
All wines listed above can be purchased from Grape Britannia on Arbury Road. grapebritannia.co.uk
