Join Deniz Bayram DipWSET for an exploration of orange wines - also known as amber wines or skin-contact wines.
Event details
Once a staple in the ancient world, orange wines have now become the darlings of adventurous drinkers and trendsetters alike.*
From the ancestral qvevri wines of Georgia to bold expressions from Slovenia, as well as modern takes from France, Italy, Hungary and Chile — get ready to experience a style that forms a unique bridge between white and red wines - perfect for those who love to explore beyond the usual.
Whether you’re new to orange wines or already in love with their charming complexity, this tasting will uncover how these wines are made, why they’re so distinctive, and why they continue to intrigue winemakers and drinkers alike.
*No oranges were harmed in the making of these wines.
