A Journey Through the Rhone Valley

Wed 17 Jun 2026

Join us for a tasting of Rhone valley wines, the second largest AOP region in France.

We’ll be comparing and contrasting wines of different styles and quality levels from across the region. Following a glass of sparkling wine we’ll begin with a pair of white wines, one from the Northern Rhone and one from Southern Rhone. We’ll then move on to three reds from the Northern Rhone followed by three reds from the Southern Rhone. We’ll finish with a vin doux naturel, a muscat de Beaumes de Venise.
