Join us for a truly special afternoon hosted by Sir John Kirwan, whose lifelong love affair with Italy - and the people behind its great wines - spans more than 30 years.
Through his label JK.14 Wines, Sir John has brought together a collection of wines and liqueurs from producers he personally knows and trusts, each chosen not just for quality, but for the stories, friendships and traditions behind them.
This exclusive six-course Italian long lunch celebrates that journey, with each dish perfectly paired with wines and liqueurs from the JK.14 range, showcasing some of Italy’s most iconic and prestigious regions - Salento, Abruzzo, Manduria, Valpolicella, Sicily & more.
Along the way, Sir John will share tales from his travels, the characters he’s met, and the moments that shaped his passion for Italian food, wine and hospitality.
Acclaimed chef Sergio Maglione from award-winning restaurant Farina - named Metropolitan Restaurant of the Year at the Cuisine Good Food Awards 2025 and holder of a prestigious Cuisine Hat - will be bringing authentic Italian flavours straight to your table!
Settle in for an afternoon of story-telling as Sir John takes us on a journey through Italy, its flavours, its characters, and the places he holds closest to his heart.
