Seasonal pairing: chestnuts and wine

You’re invited to participate in the Roasting Chestnut event at Bouquet d’Alella.

While we put the chestnuts on the fire and we are surrounded by the smells of caramel and scorched straw, our chef Annette Schroeder will explain 4 cooking recipes where the chestnut will be the main ingredient. Together we will make the last touches to the dishes and we will have dinner pairing the creations made with our wines.
