Sample the best from the WSET School London cellars as we dust off old and rare bottles – this time from the Northern and Southern Rhône.
Event details
Join us for an intimate tasting of outstanding aged wines from a selection of Rhône valley greats. We've journeyed deep into our cellars under Bermondsey Street and unearthed a stellar selection of mature wines from across the Northern and Southern Rhône.
Hosted by wine expert and Rhône superfan Jason Millar DipWSET, you'll start with a welcome glass of Château-Grillet and then sample a flight of wines from some truly iconic producers. You'll learn about the history of each glass and pick up tips on how to store and serve well-aged wine.
Enjoy your wines alongside a selection of cheese and charcuterie from La Fromagerie and Borough Market.
Spaces are limited so book soon to avoid disappointment.
This tasting will take place seated on comfortable bar stools around the long table in our Diploma Suite.
