The 11-acre plot, which sits in the coastal Mediterranean region of Bartolï, is home to over 400 varieties of citrus, with a specialised library and laboratory dedicated to gastronomy and citrus oil research. Founder Vicente Todolí lives nearby, overseeing the growing day-to-day and educating groups who wish to learn more.

Tickets for the one-off event will be available to purchase via the Toklas website, priced at £70 per person. The evening will begin at 7pm with a drinks reception and talk from Todolï. Please book via the Sevenrooms link here.
