Join our General Manager Liz Wheadon on a tour of Italy, in our first ever virtual wine tasting. Your ticket price includes 8x mini 50ml tasting bottles for one person and a tasting mat, so you can join in and enjoy the wines from the comfort of your own home. You’ll be able to enjoy the full tasting experience as you interact with the presenter and others in the tasting, just like being in one of our wine rooms.

To ensure these samples reach you in safe and optimum condition, we will be using the Coravin system to check for cork taint. The tasting bottles will then be filled with the Le Verre de Vin system and argon gas, to minimise contact with air and prevent oxidation. The team will be using applicable protective practises when preparing the samples. They will then be dispatched to you that afternoon, so you receive them for the tasting on Thursday evening. These sample bottles are designed for short term storage to get them to you for the tasting, not for keeping in your cellar. Details will be included explaining how to set up your computer / phone / iPad to join the tasting which will be conducted via Zoom.

From the slopes of Mt Etna to the fields of Tuscany, and the rolling hills of Piedmont, Liz will be presenting some exciting red wines from some of the major Italian regions. We will be tasting; A Mano Negroamaro Puglia IGT 2017, Terrazze dell’Etna Cirneco Etna DOC 2011, Illuminati ‘Zanna’ Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOCG Reserve 2015, Biondi Santi Morrellino di Scansano DOCG 2015, Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo 2017, Ca’ del Baio ‘Autinbej’ Barbaresco DOCG 2016, Tenuta Cucco ‘Serralunga’ Barolo DOCG 2014, and Pasqua Villa Borghetti Amarone DOCG 2014.
