Event details

Can you tell your Burgundy from your Baden? Join our very own Michael Buriak DipWSET for this extra special, one-time-only tasting of nine superb Pinot Noir wines from around the world, all shown blind.

With news that the Burgundy 2021 vintage is causing prices to skyrocket even higher, many wine lovers are left wondering if Burgundy is destined to remain painfully expensive forever. However, this is not the only winemaking region producing top quality Pinot Noir – there are so many alternatives worth exploring too.

This is the perfect time to join a blind tasting of nine outstanding Pinot Noir wines from around the world. Expect some unforgettable Grand Cru Burgundy hidden amongst some very special wines from the likes of Ten Minutes by Tractor, Felton Road and Oregon’s Domaine Drouhin.

We’ll kick off the evening with a glass of "Bollinger PN", and the evening will be hosted by our longest-standing educator, Michael Buriak DipWSET. We'll reveal the wines at the end – no doubt there will be one or two eye-openers!

You’ll enjoy these fantastic wines alongside some regional cheese and charcuterie from Borough Market.

This is an unmissable tasting for any Pinot Noir devotees.
