Beautiful Wines for a Woodland Wedding
At Bacchus Wines, we love receiving requests to supply wines for weddings and special events. Our team works with you, your planner and your caterer to select the best wines for your budget. With over thirty years of experience in hospitality and wine, we can source rare and unusual wines should you want them, including champagne, magnums and wines not available via our online shop.
We were thrilled to be approached by Chef Tim Whittam. A lifelong friend of our founder Pierre-Loup Decam, Tim had been very instrumental during Pierre-Loup’s time at the Mill Tavern, restructuring and managing the kitchen. The relationship has lasted over twenty-five years.
Tim was catering for a wedding in West Sussex at the beautiful Plush Tents Glamping yurt venue. The woodland setting was perfect for hosting a bohemian, rustic family gathering. The stunning venue is a woodland oasis of tranquillity and calm. They provide wedding couples with a stress-free, enjoyable journey towards the best day of their lives, followed by happy memories for years to come.
After the main meal, Tim was asked to create a spectacular cheese and crackers table for the bride and groom. What better way to accent a fantastic cheese tower than stunning wine?
Tim explains, “The bride and groom were keen to round off the day’s food with a selection of cheese and biscuits. This provided a fantastic opportunity to introduce the couple to Chateau de Parenchere via Bacchus Wines PLDC, which I knew would accompany the array of cheeses we had selected wonderfully. When looking for a special wine, I particularly like the 2016 vintage and using magnums really set off the cheese display. Many guests were photographing the cheese tower and wine arrangement. Having spoken to my go-to wine expert, Pierre-Loup, he kindly gifted the couple a bottle of the selected wine from the year of their birth.”
So, whether you’re organising a wedding, a birthday, a dinner party or a private event, you’ve come to the right place! Our wines are hand-picked by our Founders, and we only ever sell wines that we have personally selected and loved. We also have excellent long-standing relationships with independent vintners, so we can help to make your day even more special. At Bacchus Wines, we like to go the extra mile because we love wine and want to share our knowledge and passion for it.
