This November, immerse yourself in a delightful fusion of French flavours and Irish heritage at a unique wine and dinner pairing event. Join us on November 21st, 2025, for an exquisite evening featuring premium wines from Château Penin, a prestigious producer from Bordeaux, France.

Guests will savour a five-course tasting menu infused with Irish flavours, thoughtfully crafted to complement five exceptional wines from this renowned wine region, all served in the Resort’s award-winning Catalina Restaurant. Antoine Carteyron, one of the managers at Château Penin, will guide you through the vineyard's winemaking philosophy while introducing each wine paired with the specially designed menu by Lough Erne Resort’s culinary team.

Driven by a passion for Northern Ireland’s finest produce, our culinary team has crafted a five-course menu celebrating seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The evening opens with a delicate pairing of Lough Neagh smoked eel, Comber potato, and Armagh apple, before moving on to confit duck or braised chicken leg with mushroom ravioli. For the main course, savor Mill Dam flax-fed Irish beef with baked artichoke and truffle mushroom duxelles, or opt for Kilkeel cod complemented by lobster and prawn salad, lemon gel, and a rich lobster bisque. To finish, indulge in an Armagh apple panna cotta with white chocolate, or young buck blue cheese served with dark chocolate ganache and sour cherry.

These flavours will perfectly complement Château Penin Vineyards’ critically acclaimed wines. Established in 1855, Château Penin is a family-run vineyard, renowned for its exceptional terroir located in the heart of Bordeaux, providing an ideal climate for optimal grape ripening. The vineyard practices sustainable techniques in both production and estate management.

After this remarkable evening, you can relax in one of the resort's luxurious guest rooms and wake up to a lakeside breakfast, complete with access to the infinity pool at the Thai Spa.

If you prefer to attend the event without an overnight stay, the cost is £105 per person, including a champagne reception and the dinner and wine pairing. Arrival is 7.00pm for a Champagne Reception, with dining commencing at 7.30pm.
