Simon said: “As a chef, food is extremely important to me, and so I’m thrilled to be able to participate in Action Against Hunger’s Fine Wine Auction this year. We’ll be raising vital funds to help families and communities gain access to nutritional treatment and safe, clean water.”
Before the meal will be a Champagne Taittinger reception and canapés, served courtesy of The Pig, Cheese Cellar, and the Wright Brothers. Wines from Allegrini, Tolpuddle Vineyard, Château de Santenay and Pieropan will be complimenting the food.
Along with this, Stephen Mould, Head of the European Wine Department at Sotheby’s, will be hosting a live auction featuring an exclusive array of fine and rare wines, such as a case of Château Latour 1995, with all proceeds going towards Action Against Hunger’s work worldwide. Other prizes include a dinner party for 12 prepared in the winner’s home by Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli.
Hosting the evening will be award-winning BBC presenter Nigel Barden. All proceeds will be going towards Action Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organisation committed to ending child hunger.
Robin Hutson, co-founder of the event said: “This year looks set to be another fantastic evening, great food and wine, great auction lots and let’s hope very loose bidding hands to raise a record sum.”
The Action Against Hunger Fine Wine Auction and Dinner is on Saturday, November 15 at 1 Lombard Street in the City of London.
