G.D. Vajra Long Lunch at The Boar

Description

Join The Boar for its inaugural Long Lunch, welcoming Eugene Qiao from celebrated Piedmont estate G.D. Vajra. Held upstairs in The Dining Room, this communal, long-table gathering brings together Italian wines, British-inspired cooking and conversations with the estate’s assistant winemaker.

Chefs Graham and Jake have designed a menu to complement four wines from the Vajra family. The afternoon begins with Dolcetto d’Alba 2024 alongside savoury opening dishes, followed by Claré J.C. Langhe Nebbiolo 2025 with slow-roasted carrots. Barolo Albe 2022 accompanies 14-day dry-aged roast duck, before Moscato d’Asti 2025 brings a sweet finish with Eton mess.
