An unprecedented major event on the world fine wine calendar
Friday 20th April - Sunday 22nd April, 2007

A small group of wine enthusiasts will be dedicating a complete weekend to enjoying the finest vintages of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, hosted in one of the worlds most luxurious and beautiful places, Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, situated between Nice and Monte-Carlo on the French Riviera.

The programme includes:

• Lafite vintage masterclass
  An unprecedented tutored tasting and practical study of 10 contrasting Chateau Lafite Rothschild vintages spanning three centuries of this legendary wine between 1898 and present.
   
• Chateau Lafite Rothschild Gastronomic Challenge Dinner
  Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat's award-winning Chef, Didier Aniès, has created an exceptional gastronomic menu to complement eight superb vintages of Chateau Lafite Rothschild to be served as a blind tasting challenge during the dinner.
   
• Basic principles for enthusiastic amateurs
  Running separately alongside the Lafite masterclass, this practical tasting and seminar will appeal to partners or guests of wine enthusiasts who may prefer to gain more general techniques, tips and hints on the essentials for identifying quality and faults in wine.

The objective is to provide an informative, entertaining and enjoyable weekend enabling like-minded people to share in the pleasures of one of the world's greatest wines.

Technical presentations will be made by Antique Wine Company's Masters of Wine, and Charles Chevallier, Director of Chateau Lafite Rothschild.

The Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat will also be offering a series of other non-wine related events. Including:

• A Private tour of some of the Riviera's historical palaces
   
• Monte-Carlo Tennis Masters
   
• Top Marques Super-Car event
   
• Relaxing...
  by the pool at the famous Club Dauphin overlooking the deep blue Mediterranean, or shopping in Monaco.

The event is limited to just 50 residential guests with a small number of non-residential tickets available for our clients who may have their own properties
in the neighbourhood.

This opportunity to enjoy vintages dating back to Victorian times is likely to be fully subscribed very quickly and reservations will be taken in the order in which we receive the requests, so please register your interest today, and receive the formal printed invitation by post.
