Tales of a Sommelier - with Nick Mobbs

It will have been two years almost to the day since Nick and Aileen stepped back from the day to day running of the Hotel but we’re thrilled to announce that we have lured Nick out of retirement, away from the golf course and back to Imperial Hotel for a very special evening that we know that you’ll love on Friday 21 March.

We invite you to join us here at Imperial Hotel for ‘Tales of a Sommelier’, an evening of fabulous wine and entertaining insights with the one and only Nick Mobbs, with a delicious three-course dinner cooked by Peter and our brilliant Chefs. For one night only, on Friday 21 March, Nick will share his love and knowledge of wine together with anecdotes from his time as an award-winning Sommelier in what will be an enjoyable and educational event.

As you might imagine, Nick has curated a range of fabulous wines for this event and you’ll taste a generous number throughout the evening together with a superb wine flight selected by Nick to perfectly compliment your three-course meal.
