Event Description
We are hosting a Rhône Valley Masterclass to give you the opportunity to learn more about this region and taste some great wines.
In the South of France lies the Rhône Valley, its myriad of canals and its abundance of vineyards. Here we find the blockbuster Syrah (Shiraz) in many guises. In addition we find the spicy Grenache, and these two grapes together exist because of the hot climate down here, making more intense and full-bodied wines. We’ll explore classics such as Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Vacqueras and Hermitage along with some deliciously full bodied whites from Viognier, Rousanne & Marsanne - which often fly below the radar.
The evening will include tasting portions of six carefully selected wines, some tasting samples of local cheese, a 2 hr interactive presentation led by our wine expert with plenty of time for Q&A.
