number one to host exclusive Dom Pérignon Dinner

Michelin-starred number one restaurant at Edinburgh's Balmoral Hotel is hosting an exclusive Dom Pérignon Dinner on Wednesday 22 September.

The dinner will include a five-course culinary extravaganza, created by Executive Chef Jeff Bland, with accompanying champagnes and wines selected by Dom Pérignon.

A highlight of the experience will include a tasting of the prestigious Dom Pérignon Oenotheque, 1990 vintage. Number one is currently one of only a handful of Scottish properties to stock this exclusive range, including what is believed to be last bottle of Dom Pérignon 1959 vintage, on sale in Scotland.

Number one and Dom Pérignon have recognised a growing trend within the UK for outstanding culinary experiences; comprising exceptional cuisine with paired wines and champagnes. In particular, number one has noted a 20 per cent increase in sales of its special Tasting Menu with accompanying wines. Palm Court at The Balmoral recently introduced Dom Pérignon by the glass, accompanied by Loch Fyne Oysters, which has also helped to increase awareness of pairing fine food and wine. The partnership with Dom Pérignon is a direct response to growing consumer demand for Prestige Cuvées and it is hoped the Champagne Dinner will be the first of many events at number one.

Please call number one for availability and bookings on 0131 557 6727. The menu cost is £95 per person for a five-course menu and accompanying champagnes and wines at number one on 22 September at 7.30pm.
