As winter months draw in, the fields in England become largely barren except for some roots and hardy greens.

Historically this is when we would have drawn on our store-cupboard of preserved fish, meats & vegetables, relying on methods such as smoking, salting & pickling to impart unique flavours and extend the life of fresh produce into the spring.

Join Chef Simon in Marylebone as Vinoteca celebrates these techniques with 5 inventive courses and optional wine pairings. Five courses £35/person
