Winemakers’ Dinner – When Great Port Wines Meet Gastronomy

An experience with Fonseca deserves the perfect setting. That’s why we’ve chosen the atmospheric Maskinværkstedet in Holbæk as the venue for this exclusive evening.

Here, we’ll combine a delightful dinner with fantastic Port wines and good company. It will be an evening where there’s time to savor every glass, immerse yourself in the tasting experiences, and share your enthusiasm with fellow Port wine lovers.

Along the way, we’ll delve into the stories behind the wines. We’ll hear about the dramatic landscape of the Douro Valley, the steep vineyards, and the impressive craftsmanship behind some of the world’s greatest port wines.

It will be an evening filled with passion, great stories, and experiences that extend far beyond what’s in the glass.

Fonseca – More than 200 years of passion for port

Fonseca was founded in 1815 and has since built a reputation as one of the world’s most prestigious port houses.

For generations, the house’s Vintage Ports have delighted international wine critics, collectors, and port enthusiasts alike. Several of the great vintages have achieved legendary status and are considered among the finest port wines ever produced.

Behind this success lies an uncompromising commitment to quality and a deep respect for the Douro Valley’s unique terroir.

Fonseca owns, among others, the famous estates Quinta do Panascal, Quinta de Santo António, and Quinta do Cruzeiro. Here, the grapes are grown under some of Portugal’s most fascinating and demanding conditions.

The result is port wines with impressive concentration, complexity, and a truly distinctive character.

A port wine evening you won’t soon forget!

We’ve long wanted to feature Fonseca at one of our tastings, which is why we’re especially excited about this event.

It will be an evening for those who appreciate fantastic wines, good food, and experiences that create memories.
