The Phoenicia Malta is thrilled to announce an exquisite culinary event taking place at the esteemed Contessa restaurant on the 26 April. In collaborat­ion with renowned local winery Marsovin, this event promises an evening of gastronomi­c delight, spotlighti­ng the flavours of local ingredient­s and some of the finest indigenous wines the island has to offer.

'Local' and 'indigenous' are two concepts that have gained a lot of importance over the last few years, evoking a sense of place and identity. This event promises a harmonious blend using the best of local flavours and seasonal ingredient­s expertly crafted by Head Chef Daniel Debattista and his talented culinary team. Some ingredient­s have even been grown in the hotel's own kitchen garden, in fact. Each delectable dish will be paired with fine Maltese wines from Marsovin Winery - a leading winery deeply rooted in Malta's viticultur­al history. Each carefully selected wine is produced using the local indigenous grape varieties - Girgentina and Gellewza and served from Magnum bottles.

This event serves as a testament to the hotel's dedication to supporting the Maltese community and environmen­tally conscious actions. One of the many reasons why The Phoenicia Malta has been voted as a Sustainabi­lity Leader within the prestigiou­s Leading Hotels of the World network.

"We are delighted to collaborat­e with Marsovin and showcase the best of Maltese ingredient­s at Contessa," said

General Manager of The Phoenicia Malta. "This event reflects our commitment to celebratin­g local flavours and supporting sustainabi­lity initiative­s within our community."

Guests can anticipate an evening of culinary exploratio­n. From flavoursom­e starters to decadent desserts, each dish will be expertly paired with Marsovin's finest wines, creating an unforgetta­ble dining experience.
