Sheen Falls Lodge in Kenmare has settled on a Spanish theme this year for its spring Wine Weekend, March 12th-14th. Anne Vallejo, chief winemaker at the well-known Bodegas Marques de Caceres in Rioja, will guide guests through a series of tastings featuring many of her company's wines. A post-prandial cognac and cigar session on the Friday; Saturday champagne reception and gala dinner; and Sunday morning blind tasting for those brave souls who can face it are other highlights. £265 per person sharing.
