Tastings & Events

Our events for 2010 are booking up as fast as ever; with a range of themes, styles and prices, this is an enticing programme for wine enthusiasts of all levels. For the newcomer there are several light-hearted yet informative tastings. In addition, we are delighted to invite a number of respected producers, the highly regarded Jean-Michel Lafage and Gaston Hochar of Château Musar to name two.

Look out too for the Celebration of English Sparkling Wine, a first tasting of what is a style of growing importance. And don't miss our evening dedicated to Local Producers, now an established favourite.

Quality and value are paramount, and our programme of events is suitable for every level of wine knowledge and will be of interest for novices as well as those with more expertise and experience. Most events are accompanied by either a delicious luncheon, dinner or canapés using only the very best of local produce, so expect vibrant fresh flavours with contemporary presentation, carefully prepared by our in-house team of chefs, lead by Craig Formoy our renowned executive chef.
