Join Books on the Hill and Baruccio for the next instalment of our collaborative book club that merges thoughtful literary discussion with insightful and creative drinks pairings.
This is monthly event is held on the fourth Wednesday of every month – taking place between 7 and 9pm – combining three of life’s greatest pleasures: reading, wine and food.
This is a book club with a difference. Each month we will discuss a fascinating text (this could be a classic novel, a quirky hidden gem, or a beautiful piece of travel writing) and pairing the book with a range of wines that have been carefully selected to match the atmosphere, setting or even a certain scene within the story.
At the heart of the evening is a bespoke wine pairing experience curated by Gabriele, owner of Baruccio and a trained sommelier with a lifelong love of books. An enthusiastic reader since childhood, Gabriele will carefully select each wine to reflect the spirit of the story, drawing inspiration from its themes, setting, characters, and emotional depth. Alongside each pairing, light nibbles will also be served - so ensure you leave room for delicious food and drinks.
Please be sure to notify us ahead of the event if you have any dietary requirements or allergies.
Guests will be invited to explore the fascinating connection between literature and wine, discovering how a thoughtfully chosen glass can enhance the atmosphere of a scene, enrich discussion, and bring a story vividly to life. The result is a unique and immersive experience where great books and exceptional wines come together in perfect harmony.
For this session, we are delighted to announce that we will be discussing the richly-textured, atmospheric and sensuous novel Chocolat by Joanne Harris.
Please note that due to the nature of the event, it is expected that attendees have read the book and are willing to partake in an informal but insightful discussion of the book, which will be facilitated by Books on the Hill. The book can be purchased at a discounted price of £5 when bought alongside a ticket for the event.
