What to expect?

Join Blackfriars for an evening of wine discovery with a selection of top notch wines hand-picked by our own sommelier. Learn how to decipher confusing labels as well as the wine’s appearance, secrets of the nose (aroma) and its all-important taste.

The evening will include a glass of fizz on arrival, six fantastic samples of wine including a mixture of white and red wine plus some nibbles to soak-up the alcohol. You'll briefly discuss each wine, how it’s made and how best to taste it. Come on, you have ~10,000 taste buds – learn to use them!
