Penina Hotel & Golf Resort is offering an unforgettable evening of delicious fine-dining and wine tasting at Le Grill Restaurant this November.

In collaboration with award-winning winery Quinta do Francês, the five-course gourmet dinner will be accompanied by four of its renowned wines. Each of the wines will have been produced in the Algarve just 15 minutes from Penina and an oenologist from the winery will also be on-hand to offer tips and discuss the complex wine characteristics that pair with each course. In addition to this, the dessert course of sweet Petit Fours will be served with a refreshing taste of Pennyroyal liqueur, created using the Pennyroyal plant that's native to southern Portugal.
