Five ways into wine

Each evening follows a thread: a region, a theme, an experience. Here are a few workshops we have already run, to give you a flavour.

Terroirs
A region in the glass

An appellation told through its wines: soils, climate, grape varieties and ways of working.
- Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Châteauneuf-du-Pape
- Corbières
- Natural wines from northern Ardèche
- Beaujolais blanc, the revival
The Terroir workshops
Wine-Themed
A theme that runs across regions

A colour, a grape variety, a way of farming, or the people who make the wine.
- Biodynamics: natural or supernatural?
- Wines by women winemakers
- Gamay, ultra-local
