The Phoenicia Malta, in collaboration with M. Demajo Wines and Spirits, invites wine connoisseurs and culinary enthusiasts to an exclusive evening of fine wines and exceptional gastronomy. On Friday, 28 February at 7pm, we welcome guests to an intimate Chateau Musar Wine Tasting & Pairing Dinner at Contessa, an elegant setting renowned for its refined ambiance and culinary excellence.

Nestled within the heart of The Phoenicia Malta, Contessa offers an exquisite dining experience where history, sophistication, and gastronomy blend seamlessly. Featuring stunning views of the hotel's gardens and Valletta's bastion walls, the restaurant provides the perfect backdrop for this one-of-a-kind wine experience, celebrating the artistry of Chateau Musar, Lebanon's most prestigious winery.

This special evening begins with a degustation of six exceptional Chateau Musar vintages, a journey through decades of winemaking mastery:

  • 2003 Vintage
  • 2004 Vintage
  • 2009 Vintage
  • 2011 Vintage
  • 2012 Vintage
  • 2017 Vintage

After an immersive tasting session, guests will be escorted to take their seats at a magnificent Royal Table for a refined four-course wine pairing dinner. Jane Sowter, a distinguished member of Chateau Musar since 1988, will guide guests through each pairing, sharing fascinating insights into the winery's heritage, its unique aging process, and the philosophy that has made Chateau Musar an icon in the wine world.

The evening's bespoke menu has been meticulously crafted to complement the depth and complexity of Chateau Musar's wines. Guests will enjoy a selection of fresh seafood, handmade pasta, premium meats, and artisanal cheese, each paired with an exquisite wine.

This event is not just a dinner-it is a celebration of tradition, terroir, and the timeless art of winemaking, set against the backdrop of one of Malta's most historic and luxurious hotels. The evening promises to be a rare opportunity to experience the magic of Chateau Musar's vintages, expertly paired with an inspired menu in an atmosphere of sophistication and charm.
