Gerard Basset's Hotel TerraVina has merged with the 10in8 Fine Dining Group.


Master Sommelier Basset, OBE, co-founder of the original Hotel du Vin Group and his wife Nina Basset, who together own Hotel TerraVina in the New Forest, have announced that they have merged their hotel with Alan Murchison's four-strong 10in8 group.

Murchison, a Michelin-starred chef, runs L'Ortolan, La Bécasse, Paris House and The Angel. Murchison and Basset have a long friendship and feel that there is "great synergy" between both brands and their skills. They aim to continue the expansion of 10in8, developing The Fine Dining Academy and a cookery and wine school.

Nina Basset will become the group's managing director, with Richard Pursey as the chairman, while Gerard Basset and Murchison will head up wine and food respectively.

Each company will retain its original name, while board members will own shares in both companies.

Nina Basset said: "This merger will open up many great opportunities for the talented teams that already exist in both businesses. They will play such an important role in the development of the group and we are delighted for them as well as for us."
