Turnberry Luxury Collection Resort offers champagne gourmet dining experience

Turnberry, the Luxury Collection Resort in Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland, will celebrate the UK launch of one of the world’s rarest and finest champagnes by staging a gourmet dining experience for guests on Thursday 4 October 2012.

GH Mumm’s Blanc de Blancs is unveiled this year as the world-renowned champagne house celebrates the 130th Anniversary of their vineyards in Cramant, the Grand Cru village outside Reims. To mark the occasion, Turnberry’s award-winning food and beverage team has partnered with the historic brand to stage a one-off fine dining experience.

The dinner will feature a highly-crafted tasting menu, designed by Turnberry’s Executive Head Chef, Justin Galea. Each course will be paired with one of GH Mumm’s finest champagnes and introduced by GH Mumm’s brand ambassador.
