Event Description

So where did it all begin?

The Egyptians? the Romans? the paleolithic times?

We'll be taking a look back in time to where wine first began and seeing how the journey has changed from the days of yore to more modern times.

Over 2 consecutive Fridays we'll be tasting 8 different wines each week, with examples of the style of the first wines and bring us right up to current trends.

The 2 weeks include 16 wines, plus nibbles and we'll make history fun!

Friday 17th June - Beginnings to early 20th Century

Friday 24th June - Early 20th Century to the future
