Saturday Introduction to Wine from the New World with Lunch

Join us for a relaxed, enjoyable day exploring wines from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Americas. This course offers a fascinating introduction to the styles, regions, and grape varieties that have helped put the New World firmly on the global wine map.

We’ll begin with a glass of sparkling wine, before moving on to a guided tasting of 10 fantastic wines. Along the way, you’ll learn how to taste like a professional and discover:

• How wine is made

• The key winemaking regions of the New World

• Major red and white grape varieties

• How climate and winemaking shape flavour and style

• Tips for reading and understanding wine labels

• Simple, practical food and wine matching advice

Midway through the day, we’ll take a break to enjoy a delicious three-course lunch, before continuing our tasting journey across the New World in the afternoon.

No tasting experience is necessary — all levels of knowledge are welcome at our events.

The menu will be shared closer to the date, and we’ll ask you to confirm your selections no later than one week prior to the event.
