Off the Beaten Track

Wine is often dominated by the big names we all know and love – Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chablis, Champagne and Rioja. But beyond these famous grapes and regions lies a fascinating world of lesser-known wines waiting to be discovered.

All lovely, but did you know that there are little nuggets of gold to be discovered from all corners of the world? We have thousands of indigenous varieties that rarely see the light of day – let alone your taste buds. Join us as we shine a spotlight on some of these hidden wine gems.

We’ll explore exciting and unusual wines from countries such as Greece, Hungary, Lebanon and beyond (Chinese wine, anyone?), discovering distinctive grape varieties, wine regions and styles that deserve far more attention. The wines will change from tasting to tasting, depending on the latest gems we’ve discovered, so expect plenty of surprises!

This relaxed and interactive wine tasting experience is perfect for anyone who enjoys discovering something new, whether you’re a complete wine beginner or already have plenty of wine knowledge.

You can look forward to:

• Six carefully selected wine tasting samples
• Delicious cheese tasting samples
• Full wine tasting notes
• A two-hour interactive presentation led by our experienced wine tutor

Come and discover the wines beyond the usual big names and find your next favourite bottle!
