Social Pictures: The Villa Maria Summer Soirée

Villa Maria hosted a special summer soirée to celebrate the launch of Villa Maria Blush Sauvignon to the Irish market.

Guests stepped out onto the lawns at the Radisson St Helens in Stillorgan, Dublin to celebrate the launch of Villa Maria Blush Sauvignon to the Irish market. 

Spotted enjoying the summer evening drinks reception were Sonya Lennon, Terrie McEvoy and her husband David Fitzpatrick, Grace Mongey, James Patrice Butler, Eabha O Donoghue, Ciara Ryan , Tara O Farrell and Audrey Hamiltion while pianist Oyena Sixaba took the grand piano on the lawn on the night.

Guests later retired inside the hotel for a bespoke wine-paired dinner. The event highlighted the art of effortless wine pairing to elevate the dining experience, truly enhancing the flavours of the food to savour those moments of joy with Villa Maria wines.

The delicious blush sauvignon is a captivating fusion of elegance and flavour, which is unsurprising as it comes from Ireland’s number one New Zealand wine brand. Is it a rosé? Is it a sauvignon blanc? Villa Maria has created the best of both worlds, crafted with 90% sauvignon blanc and just a touch of merlot. This innovative and alluring wine delivers the taste experience of New Zealand’s favourite and cherished sauvignon blanc with a beautiful pale pink twist, bursting with fresh flavours of passionfruit and cranberry.
