More about the wine you’ll enjoy at this event:
Antica Vigna is a range created by Tenute Salva Terra, a family-owned estate, located in the heart of Valpolicella in the magnificent Villa Giona, dating back to the sixteenth century, in San Pietro in Cariano and now run by Brothers Eros and Lucio Furia. A unique place which stands out for its terroir, where an ideal soil combines with oenological mastery. They produce a range of Classic Veneto wines, focusing on elegance and personality, rather than overuse of wood barrels.

==========================================
Behind every great restaurant is a great head chef and his team…
Heading the creative and amazing kitchen of Soleil is Chef Evert Onderbeke. He was born in Ghent, Belgium in 1976. He has always been fascinated by restaurants and at 15 years old began his studies at Belgium’s most famous culinary school, ‘Ter Duinen in Koksijde’. After qualifying, he assisted in the opening of a new restaurant in Ghent before relocating to New York to study under Belgian Chef Steven Debruyn. He returned to Belgium and soon joined the premier in fine dining catering company, ‘Diner Prive’ in 2003. There, he was mentored by the legendary 2 Star Michelin Chef Roger Souvereyns, who instructed him on the art of fine dining.
Chef Evert moved to Malaysia where he was the head of kitchen at ‘High Tide’ (Time Out KL award winner Best Seafood restaurant 2010, MIGF award winner best all round cuisine 2010) before joining ‘Batu Batu Resort’ in Pulau Tengah, Johor. He has now been here for 7 years and currently heads the culinary team in Soleil Restaurant (Time Out KL award winner best European restaurant 2014, winner of 13 awards at MIGF 2015 including gold award Best all round restaurant).
Chef Evert creates finely well-balanced seafood dishes that hinge upon the styles of European cuisine but his true mastery is conveyed in blending local and imported ingredients to created his unique world of flavours. Each dish served on a plate is a product of his deep passion and creativity, making Soleil a truly memorable restaurant to dine in.
