Grapes and Styles
The tasting themes here are endless. We compare wines with the same grapes and styles discussing the characteristics common to all of them.
We taste wines with the same grapes but different blends, different styles, from different regions, with different wine making methods….
Here are some of our favourite but feel free to request your own.
Check out some of our previous events which we have been hosting for many years.

Chenin Blanc & Malbec
Chenin is perhaps the world’s most flexible varietal, making still and sparkling whites in bone-dry and super sweet styles and all points between, everywhere from Northern France to Capetown.
French Classics
Grape Masterclass
Sauvignon Blanc & Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc stand like collossi over the wine industry as two of the most widely-planted and respected grape varieties on the planet. What’s more they are related, and both started their road to fame on France’s Atlantic coast, which explains their confusingly-similar names.
