Join Master of Wine Christine Marsiglio to explore the diverse regions that sit along the banks of France’s longest river, the Loire.
Event details
The history of the Loire and its wines extends over 2,000 years. Today, it remains one of the few regions to have gained a global reputation for sparkling, sweet, red, white and rosé wines.
From the windswept coastal vineyards on the mouth of the Atlantic, to the flinty soils of the Central Vineyards, Christine will guide you through a selection of the complex and elegant wines that can be found along the Loire.
You'll enjoy these wines alongside some regional cheeses from Mons in Borough Market.
Wine list to be revealed soon...!
