This week I had a lovely wine tasting evening at Imagine Spa with my good friend Emma. I thought it was going to be a sales event to be honest to get me to buy wine, but it wasn’t at all! The lovely Laura from Adnams wine along with Paul the director of Blue Sky Leisure and marketing manager Julie wanted to invite some of their members to help them choose their new wine menu.

It was an absolutely lovely evening. Starting with one hour in the thermal suite to unwind followed by the food and wine in the main area. The food as always was outstanding. The chefs there are clearly extremely passionate about their menu. There was a gorgeous beef dish, smoked on site salmon, flatbread stuffed with hummus, olives, homemade breads, soft cheeses ending with amazing homemade sorbet and fruit dessert. Honestly, I can’t recommend their food enough. They actually do a restaurant service here too with a full menu of lovely dishes available to indulge in after your spa treatments. I can’t stress enough how flexible Imagine Spa in Blofield is. There was a lady there who couldn’t have gluten, so the chef had prepared and baked her her own gluten-free bread. When you do go to Imagine Spa in Blofield don’t be worried about chatting to the chefs about your dietary needs as they will be more than happy to create you something special. You don’t even need to use the spa here to be able to enjoy their menu.

Laura from Adnams wine was fabulous and made the evening great fun! We had 9 wines to try. Laura knew each wine inside out. She recommends which piece of food on our places complimented each wine. My favourite was the Merlot, which is great with chicken at BBQs. It’s a wine from Chile and surprisingly only £6.50 a bottle from Adnams Norwich. I actually enjoyed all the wines except one Rose, which Emma was more than happy to help me out with… no waste from us on a wine tasting event! I also liked the Pinot Gris white called Tattybogler, which is surprising as I am not normally a white wine person. However, my preference would still always be red.

Thanks Imagine Spa for the invite, we both had an awesome night! Not sure how helpful we both were though in you choosing your new wine menu 😉
