Dunbar Charity Wine Event - Wines of the Loire Valley

The Loire Valley is one of the most diverse wine regions of France. More than 1000km long, it runs from Nantes on the Atlantic coast (famous for wines such as Muscadet de Sevre et Maine) up to Sancerre which is not far from Burgundy. In the centre of the region we find the appellations such as Saumur and Bourgueil (known for their delicious chewy reds).

Across the region, all types of wine are produced, white, red, rosé, sparkling and dessert wines. The Loire is also home to a huge range of grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne and Chenin Blanc for the whites, with Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir the most widely used for reds.

This tasting will explore eight different wines including examples of white, red, sparkling and dessert wines, from a range of quality producers spread across the length of the Loire.

The evening will end with a light supper of bread and cheese - and the chance to retaste the wines with the food.

There is no fixed charge for this event, but the event is arranged in support of the Scottish Refugee Council and we suggest a donation of around £25/person (though please give more if you are able to do so).

Please note that a separate booking is needed for each person attending - so if you are booking two people please go through the booking process for each person. If you are booking for a guest please book with the name of the person attending - but you can give your own email if you want the confirmation and subsequent messages to come to yourself.
