Oddity: Loire Valley

Overview

The Odd Culture Group (The Old Fitz, The Duke of Enmore, The Oxford Tavern) is bringing its love for odd and interesting food and drink to its latest Inner West venue through a series of extravagant meals. The group's much-hyped King Street wine bar and restaurant Odd Culture will host an event series dedicated to tastes and culinary techniques from off the beaten track.

Oddity is kicking off on Thursday, October 20 with its inaugural event featuring a five-course dinner centred around drinks from French natural wine haven Loire Valley. Your guide for the night will be Loire Valley's Paul Hervy of Brix Fine Wines, taking you through some of his favourite drops from the region.

Just some of the culinary delights on the menu include Sydney rock oysters, pork terrine, confit pork, fromage frais, fish dumplings in lobster sauce, aged roast duck and artichoke with foie gras — all carefully paired with wines from the likes of Julien Courtois' Clos de la Bruyere and Clos de l'Elu.

There are 40 seats available for the night, with an all-inclusive booking setting you back $150 per person.

There are more iterations of Oddity planned for the future, with Odd Culture promising no two events will be the same.
