Leading North East business and lifestyle magazine, Portfolio North, has lifted the lid on its upcoming Wine & Dine supplement, which will be published later this year.
The dedicated supplement has been launched as a celebration of the region’s best places to wine and dine, offering its 177,00 monthly readers the opportunity to discover everything they need to know about the region’s best-loved food and drink hotspots, from fine-dining restaurants and cosy pubs to bustling bars, up-and-coming cafes and more.
The standalone glossy printed supplement will be published inside the October/November issue of Portfolio North and serve as a go-to guide for the North East’s food-lovers.
The printed supplement will also be supported by a significant digital campaign across its platforms, with each featured restaurant also being included on its website, email marketing, social media platforms and news app. The campaign will also be promoted across dozens of Smart Outdoor digital advertising screens across the region.
Packed with top listings and covering all corners of the North East, including North and South Tyneside, Northumberland, Durham and major cities like Newcastle and Sunderland, the Wine & Dine supplement will take food fans on a culinary adventure, providing trustworthy recommendations with every flip of a page.
Alongside expertly-chosen entries, the supplement will also feature exclusive interviews with some of the region’s most renowned chefs and restauranteurs, alongside must-try recipes and larger features which will uncover menu options and share the stories behind a number of established and up-and-coming venues to wine and dine at on our doorstep.
Cassie Moyse, founder and director of Portfolio North, said: “After supporting many hospitality clients for several years, we are delighted to be launching our brand new Wine & Dine supplement.
“The North East hospitality industry is incredibly vibrant and exciting. We’re seeing new venues opening with different experiences and menus, offering opportunities for all different kinds of occasions.
“With so many options, it’s sometimes a challenge trying to find the right places online, which is why we wanted to create a one-stop-shop to find the best places to eat and drink in the North East.
“The supplement will be a separate pull-out publication from Portfolio North of really high quality and with evergreen content, so that readers will be encouraged to keep it to refer back to when they’re looking for somewhere to eat or drink.
“Created by our in-the-know experts, our little black book-inspired guide is a celebration of our region’s food and drink scene and aims to provide readers with all the knowledge they need to wine and dine in the best way, at the best places, possible.
“Whether you’re looking for the perfect restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, a local pub to enjoy a memorable mid-week dinner or a weekend wine bar that won’t disappoint, we have you covered.”
With an established readership of over 50,000 readers per edition across the North East and a growing digital presence, Portfolio North remains one of the region’s most prolific publications.
Created for and read by ambitious professionals – including business-owners, investors and decision-makers – and inquisitive individuals, its bi-monthly publications provide a balanced mix of entertaining, aspirational and educational content.
From the latest business news, exclusive interviews with influential leaders and insightful thought leadership articles to must-read lifestyle features across travel, wellness, hospitality and more, each edition aims to celebrate the region, its businesses and its people.
Copies are delivered to homes within some of the North East’s desirable and prestigious postcodes, as well strategically distributed to a number of carefully-selected locations across the region.
The new Wine & Dine supplement will complement the magazine’s existing food and drink pages, which serve to support Portfolio North’s roster of esteemed hospitality clients. Over the years, the publication has worked closely with a variety of leading names within the North East’s hospitality sector, such as Vaulkhard Group, SIX and 21 Hospitality Group, providing considered and high quality promotion across print and online.
The exclusive supplement offers a variety of advertising options for businesses wanting to shine and light on their offerings. Bookings are being taken now and businesses that are interested in featuring are encouraged to contact the Portfolio North team to learn more.
