Wine Tasting
Join us for an evening of entertainment, education and enlightenment at one of our monthly wine tasting events. It could be a masterclass on Pinot Noir, a celebration of Tuscany wines, testing your tasting skills with Natalija’s Casino Royal or meeting the wine makers themselves. Each event will be advertised in store/lounge and via the website and social media accounts. Be quick as they tend to sell out quickly!
