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. 

Click here if you want to book for TWO people or more (using one device).

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.
