Join Eliza Parkes DipWSET at this in-depth exploration of biodynamic wine, tasting a range of examples along the way.

Event details

Biodynamic wine has been around since the 1920s and, unlike natural wine, it has its own official certification. From following the lunar calendar to preparations and burying horns, it brings with it as many raised eyebrows as it does devoted fans.

At this masterclass with Eliza Parkes DipWSET, you'll explore:

  • A brief history of Biodynamic farming and Steiner’s lectures
  • What options are available to both growers and winemakers
  • Which are the most adopted practices by modern producers
  • Where the controversies lie

We will taste through a broad range of styles from across the globe that have been made using these principles and delve deeper into each of their practices.
