([wilde.ie](https://wilde.ie/peter-lehmann-winemakers-dinner/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Venue:** WILDE restaurant, The Westbury Hotel, Dublin.

Barossa and Eden Valleys are famous for their rich Shiraz, but also for Riesling and other varieties. ([peterlehmannwines.com](https://www.peterlehmannwines.com/pages/cellar-door?utm_source=openai))  \n  - The current Chief Winemaker is Nigel Westblade, who emphasises quality, vineyard character, and letting the grapes speak, rather than heavy manipulation. ([peterlehmannwines.com](https://www.peterlehmannwines.com/pages/nigel-westblade?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## The Food & Pairing Highlights\n\nFrom what\u2019s been published in preview coverage, this will be a 5-course tasting menu, with wine pairings matching each course. Some sample dishes and pairings include:\n\n- **Starters:** Carlingford Lough oysters with yuzu ponzu, Dinish Island crab & avocado tartare, and Castletownbere scallops with lime beurre blanc, paired with a mature **Masters Wigan Riesling 2016** from Eden Valley. Crisp, bright, citrus-driven to awaken the palate. ([image.ie](https://www.image.ie/living/wilde-is-hosting-an-intimate-barossa-wine-dinner-this-september-1001047?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Mid-Courses:** An autumn mushroom and pancetta orzotto with truffle and Parmesan paired with **Masters Eight Songs Shiraz 2020** from Barossa Valley.

There\u2019s also a wine-love moment here for comparing age and vintage. ([image.ie](https://www.image.ie/living/wilde-is-hosting-an-intimate-barossa-wine-dinner-this-september-1001047?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Dessert:** Bitter chocolate tart with mirror glaze, gold leaf, blackberries and sea salt paired with **Masters Mentor Cabernet Sauvignon 2018**. ([image.ie](https://www.image.ie/living/wilde-is-hosting-an-intimate-barossa-wine-dinner-this-september-1001047?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Atmosphere, Setting & Extras\n\n- **Venue Vibe:** WILDE is located in The Westbury, right in Dublin city. The terrace above Grafton Street has a stylish aesthetic, with 1930s-inspired decor, greenery, a covered garden terrace, and candlelight for ambiance. ([image.ie](https://www.image.ie/living/wilde-is-hosting-an-intimate-barossa-wine-dinner-this-september-1001047?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Story & Insight:** Expect more than just drinks \u2014 Brett Schutz and Philip Dunne will walk guests through stories of production, terroir, the history and legacy of Peter Lehmann Wines, and the character of Barossa & Eden Valleys. ([wilde.ie](https://wilde.ie/peter-lehmann-winemakers-dinner/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## A Few Tips to Make the Most of It\n\n- Arrive a bit early to soak up the terrace views and relax before the first course.  \n- Think about taking notes or snapping photos of your favorite wines; vintage vs magnum comparisons are rare and fun.  \n- If you have any dietary restrictions (allergies, vegetarian, etc.), let them know ahead of time. Events like this are usually good at accommodating.  \n- Dress code: smart-to-smart casual seems likely, given the setting and price point.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can also pull up details like how to get there, parking, or what to expect weather wise for sitting on the terrace in mid-September in Dublin. Want me to do that?"

Think getting there, parking, weather, what to wear, and things that can make your evening smoother.\n\n---\n\n## How to Get There\n\n**Public Transport**\n\n- Multiple Dublin Bus routes stop within two to five minutes\u2019 walk of The Westbury. Key nearby stops include *South Great George\u2019s Street*, *Exchequer Street*, *Dawson Street*, and *College Green*. ([moovitapp.com](https://moovitapp.com/index/en/public_transit-The_Westbury_Hotel-Ireland-site_7988077-502?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Luas Green Line stop at *St. Stephen\u2019s Green* is about a 5 to 6 minute walk. ([dublin.info](https://www.dublin.info/westbury-hotel/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Dublin\u2019s DART trains can also connect you to central locations; from there it\u2019s a manageable walk or quick taxi or bus to the hotel. ([moovitapp.com](https://moovitapp.com/index/en/public_transit-The_Westbury_Hotel-Ireland-site_7988077-502?utm_source=openai))  \n\n**From the Airport**\n\n- Taxi ride from Dublin Airport to The Westbury takes roughly 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic, with fare around \u20ac30-\u20ac35. ([doylecollection.com](https://www.doylecollection.com/hotels/the-westbury-hotel/contact-us/directions?utm_source=openai))  \n- For a cheaper option, the Aircoach or Airlink Express buses run to City Centre or Grafton Street, and from there it\u2019s a short walk to the hotel. ([doylecollection.com](https://www.doylecollection.com/hotels/the-westbury-hotel/contact-us/directions?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Parking\n\n- The Westbury offers **valet parking**, though capacity is limited. The cost is about **\u20ac20 per night** as a guide, from recent reports. ([ireland-guide.com](https://www.ireland-guide.com/establishment/the-westbury-hotel.4353.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- Some parking options nearby may include public garages or street parking \u2014 but these may involve a walk. If driving, factor in extra time.  \n\n---\n\n## Weather & Terrace Setting\n\n- **Weather Forecast:** Expect temperatures in the evening around **14-16\u00b0C (57-60\u00b0F)**. ([weather.metoffice.gov.uk](https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/forecast/gc7x92466?new-design=false&utm_source=openai))  \n- Mostly cloudy skies, with **light rain possible later in the evening** after the dinner starts. ([wunderground.com](https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/ie/dublin/date/2026-9-16?utm_source=openai))  \n- The dinner takes place on WILDE\u2019s covered terrace overlooking Grafton Street. The terrace is protected but still somewhat exposed \u2014 layers are a good idea. ([wilde.ie](https://wilde.ie/peter-lehmann-winemakers-dinner/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Dress Code\n\n- The dress code is **smart casual**. While there\u2019s no strict formal code, this is a special dinner in an upscale setting, so dressing up a little is appropriate. Think: dress shirt/blouse, nice trousers/slacks, dress shoes or smart loafers. Avoid overly casual items like sneakers, hoodies, or graphic tee-shirts. ([joinpearl.co](https://joinpearl.co/restaurants/dublin-ireland/wilde?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Timing & General Tips\n\n- Door/arrival time is 7:15 PM. A little early is always good\u2014gives time to settle in, maybe enjoy a welcome drink. ([wilde.ie](https://wilde.ie/peter-lehmann-winemakers-dinner/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Since the event is limited in space, arrive on time to not miss anything.  \n- No mention of formal restrictions on photography \u2014 but given the presence of winemakers and sommeliers speaking, and a refined setting, some discretion helps.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can map out your route from wherever you\u2019re coming or let you know what nearby cafes or sites are open beforehand for a pre-dinner drink."

        "content": "Good question \u2014 yes, rejecting shellfish is totally reasonable, and there *may* be alternatives. I couldn\u2019t find anything confirming a specific alternative to the shellfish dishes at **this special dinner**, but here\u2019s what the evidence suggests and what you can do:\n\n---\n\n## What the Menus Show\n\n- WILDE publishes a **Vegetarian & Vegan** menu with a wide variety of starters, mains, sides, and desserts \u2014 lots of which contain *no shellfish*, and many that are vegan or vegetarian. ([wilde.ie](https://wilde.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Wilde-Vegetarian-and-Vegan-Menu-March-2023-COMPLETE.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Their *standard* dinner menu also clearly lists allergens (including shellfish, molluscs, etc.), which allows you (or the staff) to see at a glance what contains shellfish and what doesn\u2019t. ([freefromly.com](https://freefromly.com/restaurant/wilde-restaurant-dublin?utm_source=openai))  \n\nThese show that the restaurant already takes dietary restrictions seriously, which is a good sign.\n\n---\n\n## What this Means for the Wine Dinner\n\n- The special **Peter Lehmann Winemaker\u2019s Dinner** has some seafood starters listed (oysters, crab, scallops) \u2014 so unless you mention ahead, those are intended courses. ([image.ie](https://www.image.ie/living/wilde-is-hosting-an-intimate-barossa-wine-dinner-this-september-1001047?utm_source=openai))  \n- Since this is a paired, fixed multi-course tasting menu, replacing or skipping a course is not standard but is often possible with advance notice in fine\u2010dining or special event contexts.\n\n---\n\n## What You Can Do\n\nHere\u2019s how to make sure you\u2019ll be comfortable and get good replacements:\n\n1. **Reach out ahead of time**  \n   Contact WILDE (reservations or front of house) and explain you have a shellfish allergy or intolerance. Ask if, for the Peter Lehmann dinner, they will provide an alternative starter or swap out that course. Because of their allergen\u2010tagged menus, they likely can offer something else.\u00ad\n\n2. **Ask when you arrive**  \n   On the night, remind your server. Chefs often can prepare something fresh (perhaps a fish, meat, or vegetable-based hors d\u2019oeuvre) instead of shellfish.\n\n3. **Be clear about the allergy**  \n   Shellfish allergies (especially crustaceans and molluscs) are serious. Make sure to say \u201cI can\u2019t eat shellfish / crustaceans / molluscs\u201d so there's no confusion.  \n\n4. **Enquire about pairings**  \n   If your starter changes, you might wonder if the wine pairing stays the same or is adjusted. If possible, ask for a non\u2010seafood dish that still pairs nicely with the same wine, or if an alternative pairing is available.\n\n---\n\n## Likely Alternative Dishes\n\nWhile I couldn\u2019t locate a published menu specifically for shellfish-free versions of the Peter Lehmann dinner, based on WILDE\u2019s regular offerings, here are plausible swap-ins:\n\n- A vegetarian or mushroom starter (since they have these on their normal vegan/vegetarian menu). ([wilde.ie](https://wilde.ie/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Wilde-Vegetarian-and-Vegan-Menu-March-2023-COMPLETE.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- A small fish (non-shellfood) dish, like grilled or cured fish, if cooking fish is okay. WILDE serves dishes like cured salmon, seabass etc., in regular menus. ([opentable.ie](https://www.opentable.ie/r/wilde-restaurant-dublin-2?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to find the chef\u2019s contact or the event\u2019s host number so you can let them know in writing, to ensure your meal is safe and enjoyable."
