NewsBy Amelie Maurice-JonesA surge of high-end London restaurants, from the Connaught to the Dorchester, are set to host intimate dinners paired with fine wine. Pavyllon’s head chef says these experiences offer “a story on the table”, and believes wine dinners are growing from niche events to “integral parts of luxury dining”.
