Frequently Asked Questions
What wines will I taste at an Adventurer Tasting?
A selection of wines, tasted blind so you judge purely on what is in your glass. The Red Wine Tasting focuses on reds from key regions around the world, and the White Wine Tasting on whites, with every wine chosen by our tutors to show a particular style, region or way of making wine.
What is the difference between the Red and White Wine Tastings?
Same format, different wines. Both run for around 2 hours with a blind tasting and a two-course menu. The Red covers styles from regions such as Bordeaux, Rioja and the Barossa, while the White ranges from Chablis to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
