Highlights

Six wines, real contrast. Wines are selected specifically to highlight differences in terroir and style, not just to pour more glasses — a genuine tasting education, not a volume tasting.

A proper sommelier-style approach. Learn how to taste like a professional — aroma, texture, finish — guided by an expert host who explains the theory behind each pour.

A standout finish. The Late Harvest wine paired with Stilton is a distinctive way to close the tasting, a pairing most casual tastings skip entirely.

History between pours. The visit to the private 17th-century Chapel of Saint Anne adds a cultural layer that sets this experience apart from a standard wine tasting.
