Event Description
Your experience begins on a celebratory note with a glass of premium sparkling wine, setting the tone for a day of exploration and enjoyment. From there, you’ll be guided through a curated tasting of five distinctive white wines, showcasing the freshness, aromatics, and regional character that make these countries so renowned—from zesty Sauvignon Blanc and crisp Riesling, to elegant Chardonnay.
After the morning session, you’ll pause to enjoy a delicious lunch...relax, connect with fellow guests, and reflect on your favourite wines so far.
The journey then continues with a guided tasting of five red wines, highlighting the richness and diversity of the Southern Hemisphere—from bold, fruit-driven styles to more refined and complex expressions. These wines are thoughtfully accompanied by a selection of cheeses, enhancing the flavours and offering a delicious introduction to classic pairing techniques.
To round off the day, you’ll indulge in a carefully chosen dessert wine—a final, elegant flourish that brings the tasting experience to a satisfying close.
Throughout the day, your expert host will share insights into regions, grape varieties, and winemaking styles, all in a relaxed, sociable setting designed to spark conversation and discovery.
