🍷 A TASTE OF BURGUNDY: Winemaker’s Dinner at Eggen

Burgundy Meets Romsdalen – An Evening of Wine, Food & Stories

Saturday, 7 November 2026

What happens when a French winemaker brings his wines to Romsdalen, and our chefs create an entire menu inspired by what’s in the glass?

This autumn, we invite you to discover exactly that!

For one special evening, Eggen Restaurant welcomes French winemaker Sylvain Martinand from Caves Bailly Lapierre in Burgundy, France, for a unique dining experience where the wine comes first – and every dish is created around it.

Our Head Chef Patrik and his team will design an exclusive multi-course menu inspired by the selected wines, combining Norwegian ingredients with creative cooking techniques.

And here's what makes the evening even more special: you'll get to hear the stories from both sides of the table.

Sylvain will introduce each wine, sharing its origins, traditions and unique character. Patrik will take you behind the scenes of the kitchen, explaining the inspiration behind each dish, the ingredients chosen and how the flavours come together.

Two experts. Two perspectives. One experience where every glass and every plate has a story to tell.

🇫🇷 Meet the Winemaker – Sylvain Martinand, Caves Bailly Lapierre, Burgundy

Our special guest, winemaker Sylvain Martinand, joins us from Caves Bailly Lapierre, one of Burgundy's respected producers of Crémant de Bourgogne – the region's elegant, traditional-method sparkling wine.

Located near Auxerre in northern Burgundy, Caves Bailly Lapierre combines generations of winemaking tradition with local vineyards and the region's distinctive limestone soils.

What makes this producer particularly fascinating is where its wines are made and aged: historic underground limestone quarries, where naturally cool, stable conditions create an ideal environment for sparkling wine production.

The result? Beautifully balanced wines known for their delicate bubbles, freshness, lively acidity and elegant mineral character.

A little journey through Burgundy – without leaving Romsdalen.

✨ More Than a Wine Tasting
