Join Heather Dougherty DipWSET for an evening exploring the USA's second largest wine region - Washington State.
Event details
'Eccentrics, mavericks, ideologues, rockers, chemists, poets, traditionalists, upstarts, lifers, dabblers - there's a little of everything up here.' Amy Glynn, Paste Magazine
In the extreme conditions of the high desert of Washington's wine country, winemakers fashion brilliant Syrah, Riesling and Chardonnay, plus renowned Cabernet and Bordeaux blends. Come and taste a selection of top wines from the region while learning about its unique geography, young winemakers and short but storied history.
Alongside the wines, enjoy a selection of locally sourced cheese and charcuterie.
