Event Description

The French arguably make the best sparkling wine in the world – Champagne, but their counterparts in the New World are catching up fast with their own versions ... England included, especially our very own country, Hampshire! 

We will taste 6 of the very best English sparkling wines, and decide for ourselves once and for all which one deserves to be our favourite! This is an opportunity to taste high quality sparkling wines coming from great locations around Hampshire, Kent, Sussex, etc.

My name is Cecile Bergart, and as a Champagne Expert (born amongst the vineyards of the Champagne Region, France), I will be presenting you with the very best bubbles my adopted county has to offer and will run this tasting in the most entertaining and educational way!

My favourite tasting by far, so come and join me for a truly decadent evening, which I will start off by sabring a bottle of English sparkling wine for your eyes only! I was trained by the Confrerie des Sabreurs and will be delighted to show off my skills, opening up a bottle of sparkling wine with a sword, just like Napoleon used to do! 

I am a published Champagne and Wine Educator, a guest champagne expert for Champagne World Magazine and for Channel 4 'SuperScrimpers', a regular guest speaker on BBC Radio Solent, as well as being an approved staff educator for Marks and Spencer. I am also a Ruinart Champagne Ambassador in the UK and a staff educator for the UK Champagne Bureau.

All tastings include: 6 SPARKLING WINES from England, Hampshire included, PowerPoint presentation, full tasting notes, use of professional tastings glasses etc.
