DOORS: 17:15 | FILM STARTS 17:30
Italian wine, Italian food and one of the all-time greatest movies: it’s an offer you can’t refuse…
Join us for an exceptional evening celebrating the 50th anniversary of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece sequel. Like most Vintage Screenings, it is hosted in the stunning setting of Averys Wine Merchants’ historic wine cellar, where you’ll enjoy a sparkling wine reception. The film itself will be accompanied by a tasting of carefully selected wines courtesy of Averys’ resident experts - and for a film as epic as The Godfather Part II, we’ll be pouring six Sicilian and southern Italian wines as opposed to the usual four!
We’re also teaming up with local indie supplier Toff’s Pasta, who will be cooking mouth-watering buffet meal for you to dine on during the interval, along with a beer or soft drink. We’ve got a vegan/gluten-free options too, so make sure you select the correct ticket type when booking.
Your ticket includes:
welcome glass of prosecco
six wines (three whites, three reds) to taste from Sicily and Southern Italy
a Godfather-inspired Italian bowl food buffet meal
an Italian lager (or soft drink alternative)
a digitally restored screening of The Godfather Part II with intro talk and extra trivia
Please note that Vintage Screenings are strictly for over-18s only
