Wine Dinner at Brooke’s:
Monte Cascas, 1808 & Vinha do Quinto

Thursday February 27 2025, 7pm

€85/person including all food and wine

Many of you will be familiar with Hélder Cunha’s 1808 Field Blend from the Douro, a popular choice at Brooke’s over the past year. Now, we invite you to explore a broader selection of his wines, including Monte Cascas and the elegant Vinha do Quinto, at a special wine dinner.

Our new head chef, Miguel Arroyo, has designed a menu to perfectly complement these wines, including two side-by-side comparisons, where you can taste how different Portuguese regions express their unique terroirs.
