London Wine Tasting - Vine to Wine

A great 'all rounder' Wine-Tasting Experience Day in London. You'll look at wine in a whole new way...as well as sniffing and tasting it!

Focusing on the major grape varieties this workshop will enable you to understand why your Chablis tastes so different to that 'Aussie' Chardonnay and why some people prefer a Merlot to a Malbec.

As with the World of Wine you'll learn how to taste and analyse the wines and will sample 15 different wines and enjoy a 3 course lunch. Running 11am - 4pm

• Discover how wine is made and how that affects what you see, smell and taste in your glass. Understand the differences in how white wine, red wine and rose are made.
• Taste and compare wines side by side to really see the differences in styles.
• Compare oaked and unoaked white wines – How are ‘unoaked’ wines made and what does ‘oaked’ really mean?
• Start the afternoon with a glass of fizz! You will learn how Sparkling wine is made – what gives the wine it’s fizz and why does Champagne differ from Prosecco, Cava etc.
• Finish the day with a glass of Port! Learn how fortified wines (Port, Sherry, Madeira) are made and what the key differences are between a Ruby Port, LBV and Vintage (apart from price!)
