Fine Tuscan wines by renowned Italian winemaker Castello Banfi will be showcased during an intimate evening at Coco Spice on Friday 26th February 2016, accompanied by a 5-course set menu creatively paired by new executive chef Mr. Franz J. Estermann. Each premium wine will be introduced by Guillaume Blanchard, Wine Ambassador for Castello Banfi, including the outstanding Brunello di Montalcino 2010, rated 93 points in Wine Spectator.
This special occasion marks the first wine dinner to be held at the recently re-branded five-star resort along Chaweng Noi Beach as well as the first opportunity for guests to sample signature dishes created by Chef Estermann.
