An evening with eikendal

How did we like it?
We loved it! And so did our guests!

We love Eikendal wines and it was an absolute pleasure to host this fulfilled evening with Chris Saager. His family have owned the vineyard since 1981 and have consistency produced high quality and delicious wines since. Chris was incredibly engaging, such a great guy, and went through the wines and chatted with guest throughout the evening. This was a real treat of an evening !! Goes without saying the Raw Bistro crew were brilliant for food and service.

Bit of a late finish 🫣 but we didn’t mind as we also had a really good time talking all things wine, travel, languages and food (Chris loves a fondue)! 🍷✈️ 🧀
