Celebrate International Sherry Week with a beginner-friendly tasting of one of wine's most misunderstood categories.
Event details
Evenings
From being namechecked by Shakespeare to the back of your nan's cabinet, Sherry has been on quite a journey.
In this tasting, we'll explore the wine's turbulent history, uncover the intricate methods used to produce it, and sample a range of styles from fresh Finos to oxidised Oloroso and everything in between. We'll even try a Sherry cocktail and the region's emerging unfortified wines.
Join Lauren Denyer DipWSET to experience the mind-bending flavours of Sherry and try your hand at creating gastronomic pairings with Spanish snacks including Jamón ibérico, sheep's milk Manchego and marcona almonds.
This tasting is ideal for anyone curious to learn more about the wines of the region.
