The Great Rosé Showdown

Rose has become the go to drink of the summer for many now and everyone has a favourite - but which one is the best?

Join us for a sunny evening of rosé wines from around the world, and hopefully find your rose for the season. Bring a friend, taste, score and vote for your favourite. Places are limited, so book early.

What’s in your glass
Six rosés and a sparkling finale, taking you from pale and delicate to deep and fruity, typically including:

• A pale, elegant rosé from Provence, the benchmark for the classic dry style
• A Pinot Noir rosé from the Loire or New Zealand, crisp and refreshing
• Rosato from Italy, made from Sangiovese or other local grapes
• A Spanish rosado from Tempranillo, richer and more savoury
• A bolder New World rosé from California, Chile or South Africa
• To finish: a sparkling rosé, from Surrey to end the evening with a pop

What you’ll discover
Why are some rosés almost colourless while others are deep pink? Does grape variety matter more than where the wine comes from? We’ll look at how rosé is made and compare styles side by side, from light and floral to rich and juicy, so you can find the one you’d happily drink all summer.

How the evening works
A short visual presentation introduces each wine and the grapes behind it, and you’ll take home tasting notes to remember your favourites, there will be some classic summer nibbles to really get your palates in the mood. At the end of the evening, everyone votes for the winning wine!

Whether you’re a dedicated pink drinker or just want to be ready for the first sunny weekend, this is a lovely way to start the summer.
