Wine Pairing Dinner in Bratislava — Sommelier Experience at Colette
Experience the art of wine pairing in Bratislava at Restaurant Colette. Every wine on our list is personally curated by Chef Sommelier Antoine “Corto” Guichard — a Burgundy-trained expert with a passion for natural wines, rare grape varieties, and the perfect marriage of food and glass.
At Colette, wine pairing is not an afterthought — it is an integral part of the Carte Blanche experience. Each glass is selected to complement and elevate its corresponding course, creating a complete sensory journey from aperitif to dessert.
Meet Sommelier Corto
Antoine “Corto” Guichard grew up in Burgundy — one of the most celebrated wine regions on earth. His intuitive connection with wine, forged through years in French vineyards and restaurants, makes every pairing at Colette unique.
His wine philosophy follows three principles: discovery over familiarity (rare varieties over predictable labels), harmony with the kitchen (every pairing designed with Chef Maxence), and respect for terroir (wines that speak of their place).
Wine Pairing Options
Wine pairing is available alongside all three Carte Blanche formats:
| Carte Blanche | Courses | Menu Price | Wine Pairing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Découverte | 3 courses | €49 | Available on request |
| Classique | 5 courses | €69 | Available on request |
| Prestige | 7 courses | €79 | Available on request |
A typical pairing evening might include a crisp aperitif from Alsace, a biodynamic white from the Loire alongside seafood, a Burgundy Pinot Noir with the main course, and a sweet wine from Jurançon to close with dessert.
Non-alcoholic pairing options are also available for guests who prefer an alcohol-free experience without compromising on complexity.
The Wine List
Corto’s wine list focuses on small, independent French producers — often from lesser-known regions — with a strong preference for natural and organic wines. The list also includes exceptional wines from Central Europe: Slovakia, Austria, and Hungary.
