Organic vs Conventional Wines                 6.45 – 8pm   Monday 20^th September

Organic wine producers will tell you that their wines taste better than others. Organic wines are produced without pesticides, herbicides or other synthetic chemicals. This reduces the negative impact of the wine-growing on the environment and helps promote biodiversity. They will say that chemicals can damage the grapes and end up in the wine as residues.The grapes of organic wines are often handpicked thus ensuring only the ripest bunches are used in the wine, and arguably they have more natural resistance to bad weather or pestilence.

But does organic wine really taste better? Let's find out together.
 
After an introductory glass of Prosecco, there will be three rounds where you will be asked to deduce the grape variety and provenance of each wine.  Throughout, you will be guided in how to taste wine with a prize of a Magnum of Prosecco for the best performer! Come along and put your wine tasting skills to the test.

Stay for dinner and savour a menu especially chosen to show off these wines.

We’ve heard a lot about South Africa this year owing to a certain global football tournament that took place there in the summer. What you may not have heard is that South Africa recently overtook France in terms of volumes of wine sold into the UK. The big challenge for them now is to encourage UK consumers to trade up to their better wines. Will they manage it? This evening we will give you a tasting tour of South Africa and you can decide for yourselves and there will be a prize at the end!
