World of Wine Tasting: Rhône Valley

Think of the Rhône as a family of opposites.

The northern sibling is stern, peppery, a bit intense. The southern one is generous, sun-drenched, and easy-going.

Up north, Syrah clings to steep granite slopes, dark and peppery, sharpened by the mistral and whipping winds. Head south and the mood flips, Grenache sprawls under the sun, softer at the edges, lifted by herbs and heat.

Call it what you like - the Rhône’s split personality is exactly what keeps people coming back.

At this two-hour tasting, we’ll take you through the icons, the rebels, and the hidden gems of the Rhône Valley, from the fragrant, fruit-driven whites of Côtes du Rhône to the pepper-laced Syrahs of the north, and the bold, sun-soaked reds of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Our fantastic wine experts will be your guides, pouring seven exceptional wines, including a welcome drink, sharing stories of the winemakers, the unique terroirs, and the winemaking traditions that make Rhône wines so iconic. So whether you’re a die-hard fan of big reds or just looking to expand your horizons beyond supermarket shelves, this event is for you.
