New Year's Evening
Dear friends and patrons,
In light of the most recent developments on the local COVID-19 front, we have decided it would be wisest and safest to cancel our NEW YEAR’S EVEning event. To begin, the current restrictions do not allow for more than a solo artist to perform in a venue such as ours. Although we adhered to all the other measures, including vaccination requirements, social distancing, mask-wearing, and the extensive use of hand sanitizer and other forms of hygiene, the performance of a quartet is not allowed. Of greater importance and concern is the steadily increasing number of COVID-19 cases throughout the province. As much as we would love to celebrate with you, the risk to health does appear to be increasing so we prefer to err on the side of caution and look forward to safely celebrating with you in the near future when the situation improves. We apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause with your plans but we are all living in particular circumstances that do mandate caution. Please contact us at info@winegrunt.com in order to organize your reimbursements and please keep your eyes open for other scheduled events in the near future.
For example, our Mardi Gras celebration is still planned for March 1, 2022. Mardi Gras at Winegrunt has become a successful tradition over the years with great Dixieland Jazz and a Cajun Feast being synonymous with Winegrunt celebrations in the early part of the year!
In the meantime, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best for the New Year!
Stay safe and enjoy the good things!

Festival Ibérico!
October 5, 2021
6-9PM
In honour of the Treaty of Zamora, signed on 5 October 1143, that recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Portugal from the Kingdom of León, Winegrunt is hosting an Iberian Evening to celebrate the flavours and sounds of Spain and Portugal. To that end, we have put together a fun and delicious program comprising a Chef-inspired Five-Course Food Fiesta, paired with the Spanish music of Halifax’s Bossa Nova Scotia for the ticket price of $100 per person. In addition, we have Guest Speaker, Craig Campbell, Sommelier, who will discuss the suggested pairings of the particular Iberian libations that we offer at modest prices for this special evening.
The gastronomical part of your evening begins with Portuguese Sopa de Legumes, a classic vegetable soup made of some of the very best local, in-season vegetables and seasonings. That is followed by Fried Stuffed Spanish Olives served with our Saffron Aioli. We’re confident you’ll love our version of Aceitunas rebozadas con alioli de azafràn. Portuguese Piri Piri Chicken, or Frango Piri-Piri, is a spicy, colonial dish with origins in Angola and Mozambique. Sourced from nearby Oulton’s Farms, these chicken legs boast lemon, garlic, chili peppers, paprika, olive oil, and a bit of sugar for a unique and tasty treat for your palate. The Paella (à la Winegrunt) comprises elements of some of the very best Spanish versions of this classic dish, including meat and seafood with saffron rice. This is followed by the Sorbete de cava y limón (Spanish ‘Champage’ Citrus Sorbet) before proceeding to the Portuguese Bolo Xadrez (Checkerboard Cake) that will WOW your palate with its alternating Vanilla/Chocolate flavours and your eyes with its intricate design.
This culinary tour de force will be enhanced by the inspired wine and spirit choices of our Guest Sommelier, Craig Campbell, who will describe our special list in relation to the Iberian menu. Throughout all of this, you will be treated to the gorgeous sounds of Bossa Nova Scotia’s Spanish / Latin music that, taken all together, will bring you as close to the Iberian peninsula as Windsor, the Valley, and Nova Scotia can get on a Tuesday night in October.
Tasty, tasty fun! ¡Salud!
