Come for the tasting. Stay for the party.
After the resounding success of the Rhône in White launch party last year, we are back!
On Tuesday 25th June, come and see why Rhône white wines are gaining so many fans. You’ll have the opportunity to taste over 100 white wines from across the entire Rhône Valley – from majestic Condrieu and aromatic Saint- Joseph to the elegant Vacqueyras and zesty Luberon.
Over 20 appellations will be represented, ranging from value weekday wines to some of the most prestigious white wines in the world. Plus, we’ve thrown in some sweet and sparkling options for good measure — perfect for whipping up a killer cocktail or two!
Meet the producers who will come all the way from the vineyards to London for this event!
