Greater Manchester Wine Festival



As part of the Manchester Food and Drink Festival Carringtons will be taking part in the MFDF Independent and Local Wine Festival at Urbis on Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd October. Our good friend Ciaran Rooney, General Manager and winemaker at Domaine Des Anges, Provence, France will be introducing his outstanding wines from the Domaine des Anges.

Ciaran is a native Dubliner and has been described by the Ireland’s Sunday Business Post as a “wine making genius”. Domaine des Anges is situated on a hillside facing Mont Ventoux, “The Giant of Provence”, which rises to 1912m in altitude. The mountain has a profound influence on the climate of the vineyards with cool evening breezes refreshing the vines in summer after the day’s intense heat, and so enabling the vines to maintain high natural acids and elegant tannins.

Join us at Urbis to experience these exceptional wines. Entry is £10 per day and the event will be open from 12pm - 3pm and 4pm - 8pm. Please come and say hello if you can make it.
