Champagne vs sparkling wine |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Eg: 1 vintage champagne, 1 NV champagne, 1 rose champagne, 4 sparkling wines from different countries. Many sparkling wines from around the world are made in exactly the same way as champagne, some with the same grapes. But prices differ enormously, as do styles. Can you tell the difference? Which do you prefer? Learn all about how these wines are made, test your taste buds, and have a really sparkling (sorry) time! There'll be blind challenges, aroma games, and quizzes to liven things up as well! For a little extra per head we can add in Bellinis, champagne cocktails, strawberries, chocolate..... |

Old World vs New World |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Back to The Tastings |
4 whites, 4 reds, and a fortified wine. Same grapes, different styles - how do they compare? Traditional winemaking vs modern methods, and how one is influencing the other. Or we can do just Old or just New if you prefer, the choice is yours. Whichever you decide on there'll be plenty of the usual challenges and entertainment to keep things lively! |

Fortified wines and food |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Compare fortified styles and how they're made - different ports, sherry, madeira, and vins doux naturels. This tasting provides a stunning array of flavours, mostly on the sweet side, but aged in many different ways and all high in alcohol and quality. To complement the wines we'll bring along a selection of matching nibbles to really show off each style at its best, both savoury and sweet. Indulgent and surprising! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Well, I never thought I'd pick a sparkling wine blind over a champagne! Anyway, thanks a million, we did have a really 'sparkling' time, and learnt a lot about fizz from all over the place. Maybe 'fortified' next time?" (Jack & Sara. Bath 2007)
