Due to a fire in our premises on St Patrick’s Day, we are very sad to announce that L’Atitude will be closed for repairs until further notice, but thankful that no one was injured during the fire.
On behalf of all the team, we’d like to thank Cork City Fire Brigade for their speed in responding to the emergency and bringing the fire under control so quickly, to the Gardai and all those who notified the emergency services, to the St Patrick’s Day Parade stewards who raised the alarm and assisted staff to safety, to our neighbours and everyone who has offered their support and shown such kindness. It’s a sad time for us, but we are extremely heartened by the flow of good wishes we have received.
We are currently seeking alternative venues for some of our upcoming events – Speed Tasting / Wine Fundamentals Course / Winter Wine Series / Etc…. We will notify you via this page, our website and our newsletter if these events will go ahead. If you haven’t signed up for our newsletter, you can do so on our website.
We are committed to getting back up and running as soon as possible for both our staff and customers and look forward to welcoming you all back to 1 Union Quay again soon!

Each class costs €40, or €160 for the full course (discount applies for anyone who signs up for all 4 classes from the start: €150 with discount).

CINECAFE: MOVIES YOU SEE & TASTE
“A Film About Coffee” (Documentary) in association with West Cork Coffee (WCC)
Wednesday 27th March
7.30pm Movie Starts
“A Film About Coffee” is a love letter to, and meditation on, specialty coffee. It examines what it takes, and what it means, for coffee to be defined as “specialty.” The film whisks audiences on a trip around the world, from farms in Honduras and Rwanda to coffee shops in Tokyo, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and New York. Through the eyes and experiences of farmers and baristas, the film offers a unique overview of all the elements-the processes, preferences and preparations; traditions old and new-that come together to create the best cups. This is a film that bridges gaps both intellectual and geographical, evoking flavor and pleasure, and providing both as well
We are delighted to welcome Tony Speight of WCC (local micro roastery based in Innishannon) to see how we interpret the movie through taste.
Tickets: €15. Spaces limited so booking essential.
SPEED TASTING – The Most Fun Way to Learn About Wine!!
Friday 22nd March 7.15pm
Due to popular demand, we’re running another Speed Tasting in March. Open to anyone who likes wine, socializing, having fun and, above all, enjoys a challenge. (The wines change from tasting to tasting, so anyone who has been to previous tastings is welcome to attend again)
Here’s how it works: we teach you the basics of how to taste wine and then it’s over to you – you taste 6 wines over the course of the evening – but you’ll be on the move: a different table, a different wine, different co-tasters. And here’s the fun part…..you taste all the wines blind (i.e. we won’t tell you what each wine is) – it’s up to you to work with your co-tasters to try to guess based on the information provided at the start. There’s a prize for the person who correctly identifies all 6 wines.
Price €30pp – includes Prosecco reception, introduction to wine tasting, taster of 6 wines & canapés.
Spaces Limited So Booking Essential.
WINTER WINE SERIES: MOUNTAINS, VOLCANOES, ISLANDS & COASTS In Assoction with Pascal Rossignol of Le Caveau.
THURSDAY April 4th
7.00pm: COASTS
The Winter Wine Series focuses on the landscape around where grapes are grown and how it influences wine style. Last month we looked at volcanoes and how the unique volcanic soil structure impacts grape growing.
In this third tasting we will look at coasts and more specifically wines that are directly influenced by the sea or by mists or breezes coming off the sea. We will look at a selection of wines we feel really reflect their maritime origin.
Join us and Pascal Rossignol of Le Caveau as we taste our way though our selection of favourite “Coastal” wines.
Tickets €20. Booking Essential
SPANISH WINE WEEK: Cataluña Versus Madrid – a comparative tasting of two exciting Spanish wine regions with Rafael Salazar
THURSDAY April 11th
7.00pm
We’re all familiar with wines from Catalunya, especially from Penedes, and perhaps less familiar with the wines of Madrid – that’s not to say that they are inferior wines.
We are delighted to welcome Rafael Salazar back to L’Atitude for a tasting of some undiscovered wines from Catalunya and to introduce us
to some of the wines from the up and coming regions of Madrid that are creating a bit of a stir.
Tickets €18 – includes tasting and canapés. Booking Essential
