Wine's
Although GastroMaison is not a licensed business we are very happy to offer the very best advice on some specific choices of wine to suit our menus for your special occasion.
We have a partnership with Peter Watts Wines of Coggeshall, a renowned and highly specialist local wine merchant. Peter has worked closely with us to pick the finest wine accompaniment to suit our dishes as well as some recommendations for Champagne or Sparkling wines should they be desired.
A separate payment to Peter Watts for your occasion's wine will be required with payment of your deposit which can be shipped directly to you home
