Lucky French enthusiasts will join our sommelier, Antony Anderson (WSET4), for a delightful evening of exploring the flavours of French food and wine from some of France's best wine regions over a perfectly matched four-course authentically French dinner.
French National Day is the anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, a major event of the French Revolution, as well as the Fête de la Fédération that celebrated the unity of the French people on 14 July 1790.
