Take a stroll through the sunbaked vines of Provence and discover a world beyond the region's much-famed rosé in the third instalment of the South of France series.

Event details

While the Provence is best known for its celeb-endorsed, Instagram-friendly pink wine, there is much more to Provence than rosé. Join Richard Lane DipWSET to learn about a region that is both a sun-kissed playground for the rich and home to some of France's most venerable winemaking dynasties.

In our third tasting of the South of France series, take a trip through the shimmering summer heat of the Côte d'Azur by tasting some classic white wines, discovering a hidden enclave of Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrating Mourvèdre's star turn in Bandol. Of course, we've included three of the region's distinctive pink wines for you to compare and contrast as well.

Each session will have a selection of snacks from France and beyond to enjoy alongside the wines.

Save £35 by booking all four sessions for £180.
