This wine tasting is untutored and informal allowing you to taste at your leisure. Full tasting notes on your table will give you background information and space to note any of your own observations. We will be milling around and on hand to chat or answer any questions.

When looking back at our tasting flights over the past few years we realised we have done the mighty Rhône a disservice! Trying to cram all that is wonderful into one flight doesn’t do this amazing wine region justice and only scratches the surface of what it has to offer. So welcome The Mighty Rhône! Parts One and Part Two, with the obvious split being Southern Rhône and Northern Rhône appellations

The Northern Rhône Valley in southeastern France is renowned for its high-quality, distinctive wines. Its steep, terraced vineyards on granitic soils, coupled with a cooler climate and the Mistral wind, produce exceptional wines known for their complexity and longevity.

Syrah dominates, yielding bold, structured reds with dark fruit, earthy, and spicy notes that age beautifully. Viognier leads the whites, offering rich, aromatic, full-bodied wines, while Marsanne and Roussanne blends are fuller with honeyed, nutty flavors.
We'll explore top appellations like Condrieu, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas, Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie, known for their complex, refined wines that reflect the region’s unique terroir. as well as a couple of excellent Vins de Pays.

You'll enjoy an aperitif on arrival, followed by a tasting flight of 7 wines, full tasting notes and an artisanal cheese and charcuterie sharing board.
