Event Description
Join us for a 4-part online course looking at the regions of Veneto - one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Italy.
Stretching from the canals of Venice to the foothills of the snow-capped Dolomites, some vineyards in this area have been named a UNESCO World Heritage site both for their beauty and the traditions they represent (see pic).
We'll try a lovely Prosecco and taste through a range of wines from Valpolicella including a top flight Amarone. We'll savour some Soave and tour regions you may not yet have discovered such as Lugana and the Berici Hills.
Along the way we'll discover a distinctive Sauvignon Blanc and try wines made from grapes you may never have heard of such as Turbiana and Tai Rosso.

James Thorne has put together a 12-case of delicious wines at an exclusive 15% discount with free delivery in sustainable recyclable packaging.
Note - you need only consume a tasting sample of each wine opened during the session and you can follow our wine preservation tips to keep leftovers for another day.
Simply book your spaces and we'll send a link for ordering the wines. We will also send instructions for joining the Zoom calls from a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Zoom is proving to be a very sociable medium for wine tasting so we can guarantee you'll have fun! Each session will last just over an hour.
