Event Description
Our Introduction to Wine Saturdays are one of the most popular beginners' tastings we run.
Kick back, relax and enjoy the ambience as we spend the whole day tasting, and enjoying our wine.
You can expect a warm welcome (with some fizz) and a tasty 2-course lunch from this lavish hotel.
Starting with an overview of the winemaking story, you'll quickly get to grips with the role of grape variety, climate, wine-making techniques, and even soil types. We'll show you how to swirl, sniff and slurp like the pros and you'll be introduced to a wide range of different wine styles.
You can expect some of your favourites to crop up... such as an NZ Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, or Rioja Reserva... but also a few you may not be so familiar with will join the party... like an Albarino or Aglianico, Fiano or Frappato,
Learn the basics of wine labelling terminology, how to pair food and wine, how to select wines to suit your taste, how much to spend on a bottle of wine, and how to squeeze more enjoyment out of every drop!
