Event Description

Tradition meets innovation in the ultimate global wine clash! This evening, we’re putting the historic, terroir-driven vineyards of Europe head-to-head with the bold, rule-breaking producers of the Southern Hemisphere and Americas. It’s a fantastic opportunity to taste how climate, history, and winemaking philosophy completely transform the same grape varieties. Whether you already have a firm favourite or you're just looking to expand your palate, join us for a fun, relaxed evening of friendly debate and incredible pairings.

Your tasting includes:

  • At least 3 pairings: Side-by-side regional battles (e.g., Loire Sauvignon Blanc vs. NZ Marlborough, or French Rhône vs. Aussie Shiraz).

  • Artisanal Pairings: Excellent cheeses sourced, as always, by our brilliant friends at The Gourmet Cheese Co.

  • 2-Hour Expert Guidance: A tutored tasting perfect for both beginners and seasoned wine lovers alike.

Will you side with the classic elegance of the Old World, or the bold flavours of the New World? Book your seat and cast your vote!
