Event Description
Starting the day with a glass of Fizz, we'll go on to compare wines made using the same grape, but in different countries
On this fascinating course we will compare wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah/Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and other grapes.
We'll sample the classic French versions and compare them with New World countries like Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, South Africa and USA.
You will learn the basics about the different grape varieties and how to taste wine like a professional. No previous experience is necessary.
