Tastings 20th May 2026 Old World vs New World

Join us as we taste a grape from its European homeland and then compare and contrast the same grape grown somewhere else in the world. For instance, we might try a Sancerre from France next to a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. We’ll try eight pairs of wine showcasing four grapes explaining why you’re tasting something so different from a grape you thought you knew!

We serve a couple more wines than our normal tastings but don’t worry they’ll be a cheese and charcuterie sharing board for every table. A perfect tasting for those who know what wines they like but want to know a little bit more about them.

7pm – 10pm
