Knightor Winery Cornwall

A feast night in a winery sounds tempting, especially to the ears of those who seek delicious drops to elevate their food. The team at Knightor are already known for producing exclusive Cornish wines but now they're showcasing their creativity in the kitchen too. A full line‑up of communal suppers is scheduled for 2023, pairing world cuisines with some of the county's finest tipples.

The winery is set amid four acres of orchards above St Austell Bay on the south Cornish coast, and the social feasting takes place on long candlelit tables in the threshing barn or, in warmer weather, the courtyard. Plans are also afoot to serve guests at tables set among the vines.

‘Dishes arrive on sharing platters, encouraging everyone to get stuck in,’ says Knightor's Gemma Kettle. ‘Relaxed, informal and sociable dining allows guests to have fun as well as to meet and start conversations with people who share a common enthusiasm.

‘Our ethos has always been about the serious enjoyment of wine and food as the two go hand in hand. Gathering people together – friends and strangers alike – to experience this pleasure and create new memories is hugely important to us.’

Previous feast nights have included Cuban and Scandi‑style spreads, and frivolities often end with after‑dinner live music. Upcoming events include a winemakers' dinner, a jazz night and a mixology night.
