Monrik Evenings

An evening around our own table with the wines of Lanzarote, presented by the people who brought them home. We hold a limited number of private evenings, one party at a time — you are the only people at the table.

The table

One table, and no other guests.

6–12 guests indoors · the tasting runs about two and a half hours · the showroom in Oslo

The showroom is not a room we rent — it is where the wines live. We lay one long table, light the candles and set out the glasses before you arrive, and then the room is yours for the rest of the evening. Lounge music low in the background, the lights turned down. No other parties, no strangers, nobody waiting to take the table at nine.
The evenings are small by nature. Indoors, six to twelve is the number the room was made for. When the season opens the garden and the terraces, we are glad to receive larger parties — always by arrangement, and always with the same table at the centre of it.

The wines

The wines, presented by us.

The number of wines is agreed for each evening · non-alcoholic option on request

We begin dry and sparkling and work through Malvasía Volcánica in several expressions. Everything is poured from bottles we brought home ourselves, and we present each wine in turn — we have met the growers, the winemakers and the owners behind them, and we know where every bottle comes from.
If you have a wish — a vintage you have tasted before, or a producer you want to go deeper into — say so in the enquiry, and we will build the evening around it.

The food

Small plates all evening.

Small plates throughout · tell us about allergies and preferences in the enquiry

We begin with blinis and vendace roe. As the evening goes on there are hard cheeses, cured hams, grapes and bread with what goes with it, and we finish with coffee and chocolate. Enough that nobody leaves the table hungry, and little enough that it is the wine you remember.

The evening, hour by hour

From the first glass to a quiet close.

I · Arrival

A glass of Brut Nature while coats come off and people find their seats.

II · The story

The journey to Lanzarote from 1967, and how wine became possible there at all.

III · The tasting

The wines presented one by one, with small plates along the way.

IV · The close

A quiet finish. The tasting itself usually runs about two and a half hours. How long the evening lasts is another matter — there is no second sitting waiting, and no clock asking you to leave.

“No two evenings are quite the same.”

The evenings

When would suit you?

We hold evenings from Tuesday to Saturday. Pick a date that is open and we will take it from there — nothing else needs deciding yet.

Enquiry

Tell us when, and we will find an evening.

We set the evenings as the enquiries come in. Send a preferred date and number of guests, and we will get back to you with a suggested selection and a price.
The price depends on how many you are and how many wines you would like — you will have a firm quote in our reply. We answer within 24 hours. Over 18s only.

Questions we get

Before you ask

What does an evening cost?

It depends on how many you are and how many wines you would like. Send an enquiry with a date and a number, and you will have a firm quote back.

Can we buy tickets individually?

No. We do not sell single tickets — the evening is set up for one party at a time, and you book the whole table.

Does it suit friends or companies?

Both, absolutely. Groups of friends, birthdays and anniversaries on one hand; company evenings and client events on the other. Tell us the occasion in the enquiry and we will adjust the line-up and the length.

Can we buy the wines afterwards?

Private customers buy through Vinmonopolet — we will show you which are in the standard range and which have to be ordered. Restaurants and wine bars can buy directly from us, or through Nordic Beverage Solution in Vestby.

Where is the showroom?

In Oslo. The exact address is given once the evening is confirmed.
