PAJU VILLA

Tallinn

Paju Villa restaurant opened in 2017 and it is the youngest sister-restaurant of OKO, NOA and Tuljak. Head chef Tõnis Siigur says that he keeps local people in mind while composing the menu. The compact kitchen sets limits for cooking options, so the whole menu fits on one page and is gradually changed in accordance with seasonal produce. The restaurant can seat around 60–70 people on two floors and guests can enjoy the outdoor terrace when the weather is good.

“The atmosphere was calm, yet impressively intense and inspiring: it was amazing and eye-opening to experience that caliber of professionalism. With delightful company, great wines and delicious food it just can’t get better than that.”

WEINWIRTSHAUS ZUM SCHÖNFÄRBER

Munich

At Weinwirtshaus zum Schönfärber we can find brilliant vintage wines at sensational prices, with a set menu at the table (2 or 3 courses), mood music and a relaxed atmosphere. Welcome to the wine industry at Schönfärber, in which Thomas “The Wine Saint” Hertlein lives his motto: “It just has to taste good”.

“I was incredibly impressed by the selection of Sangioveses coming from Chianti Classico, Maremma and Virginia. I have been interested in wine soils for over 20 years and it was a great honor to have discussed about them with such talented Sommeliers sitting down together at my table.”

THE WINE HOUSE HOTEL 1821

Edinburgh

The Wine House Hotel 1821, Edinburgh’s elegant wine destination founded by culinary expert, Sep Marini, and wine producers, ZONIN1821, is set in a boutique Georgian townhouse. It promises an immersive experience for all wine enthusiasts, from novices to experts. The venue consists of an exclusive private dining and function facility, a chic cocktail bar and four opulent, individually designed guest rooms.

“It was very engaging and exciting to understand the elements surrounding the vine and, through tasting the same grape varieties coming from different regions, analyze how they influence the style of the producer and the organoleptic profile of the wine.”

“Castello di Albola’s “Poggio alle Fate” stood out for me at this fun, educational event: a wine of great pureness and precision, combined with an oily texture and hints of apples & pears, giving way to white flowers and finishing with chalky minerality.”
