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!
New World vs Old World Fine Wine Tasting 18/03/26
A global exploration of fine wine, inspired by the legendary Trial of Paris, where the New World dared to challenge Europe’s most established classics.
Join us for an evening comparing Old World and New World expressions of the same grape varieties, tasted side by side. Across both red and white styles, discover how climate, tradition, and philosophy shape wines that share a grape but tell very different stories.
Six fine wines will be poured — two wines from each grape variety — showcasing classic Old World benchmarks alongside their New World counterparts. Expect contrast, debate, and plenty of surprises as we explore how terroir and winemaking influence style, structure, and character.
