We are so bombarded with New World wines that it is easy to everlook the established Old World countries, the great advances that have been made in wine production and the superb wines produced by France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Austria amongst others.
This is your opportunity to learn more about the producing regions, grape varieties, characteristics and variety of European wines. As we taste our way through 15 wines, interspersed with a great 3-course lunch, throughout the day we examine all the facets of European wine you need to know to rapidly increase your choice, understanding and enjoyment of wines.
A typical schedule is:
1030 Welcome drink and intro to the day
1100 How to taste wine – aromas, taste, acidity, tannins, sweetness, body and the influence of oak
1145 The main white grape varieties – regions, characteristics and diversity
1230 Sparkling wines – champagne, prosecco, cava and the rest
1315 Lunch. 3 courses matched with wine
1415 The main red grape varieties – regions, characteristics and diversity
1500 Food and wine matching – hints and tips for the perfect choices
1530 Sweet wines – vastly underestimated and surprising food matches
1600 Close
We hope you can join us for what promises to be an entertaining and enlightening day
