A Seasonal Feast and Whisky Tasting with Gill Meller and Nc’nean
Join Gill Meller and the Nc’nean team in our beautiful 18th century threshing barn for a fantastic four-course feast and whisky tasting to celebrate the launch of their collaborative limited edition whisky.
Co-hosted by chef and author Gill Meller, and founder of Nc’nean Annabel Thomas, your evening will begin with a wander down the hill, with stunning views of the valley, to the heart of our farm. You’ll be welcomed with a Nc’nean whisky cocktail and canapes to kick off your evening and will be given the chance to explore the kitchen gardens.
Next, an introduction to Nc’nean whilst settling into the feasting tables in the Threshing Barn. You’ll hear all about the small independent whisky distillery from founder Annabel, and about their wonderful new whisky, created in partnership with Gill Meller.
A menu of three delicious courses of seasonal, organic food to follow, designed by Gill and the River Cottage team, before a guided whisky tasting from the Nc’nean team, served alongside pudding and petit fours.
Nc’nean and Gill can’t wait to have you join them at River Cottage HQ to celebrate the launch of their new whisky!
