Event details
Sometimes viewed as a close second behind the blockbuster regions Burgundy and Bordeaux, it can be easy to forget that the Northern Rhône is home to some of the greatest vineyards, and wines, in the world. You will explore just that at this masterclass, hosted by Alex Centeleghe DipWSET.
Compare expressions of Côte Rôtie as you taste your way down the steep slopes of the Rhône Valley, exploring outstanding examples of Saint-Joseph and Hermitage, finishing with a truly showstopping Cornas. Alex will guide you through the top wines of the region sharing producer stories and insights along the way.
