Sugrue South Downs X Squisito Wine Dinner
Join us for a very special Wine Dinner at Squisito.
Victoria Moore in conversation with Dermot Sugrue
Winelands 2026, the festival celebrating Sussex wines brings you an extraordinary collaboration between Sugrue South Downs, Victoria Moore and Squisito.
*****
An exceptional food and wine pairing dinner, showcasing some of England’s most exciting wines alongside a specially curated seasonal menu from the Squisito kitchen.
The evening will take guests through the remarkable story and philosophy behind Sugrue South Downs, while enjoying thoughtfully paired dishes designed to complement each pour.
Victoria will lead the conversation with the effusive Dermot Sugrue and will also find some time to table hop, so have your questions ready!
Dermot is Sussex’s favourite Irishman and is often described as the U.K.’s most talented winemaker. He has won countless awards, the last one triumphing over a list of the most famous names of Champagne, so perhaps the sweetest!
Victoria, author of ‘The Wine Dine Dictionary’, Podcast Host of ‘Get yourself a glass’ and wine correspondent of the Daily Telegraph is one of the U.K.’s most prominent journalists and a champion of English wines.
This will be a fun packed evening, filled with sensational food and wine and more than a few stories!
