About this tour
Spend an evening in Italy exploring five sparkling wines across different production methods—from traditional Champagne techniques to ancestral approaches. Each wine pairs with seasonal local dishes, creating a hands-on education in carbonation styles and regional terroir. Over two and a half hours, you'll decode how geography, grape varieties, and winemaking philosophy shape what ends up in your glass, guided by someone who knows the territory.
Highlights
- Five sparkling wines spanning five distinct production methods

What to expect
After a grounding chat about wine history and how regions shape flavour, you'll taste methodically through the evening. Each wine arrives with food that echoes its origin—think local cheeses, cured meats, or fresh produce from the same valleys where the grapes grew. You'll notice the differences: tight persistent bubbles versus looser ones, dry versus off-dry, toasty notes versus bright fruit. The pace is unhurried; there's time between pours to absorb what you've tasted and ask questions.
Good to know
Dinner is included as part of the tasting format. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible with level surfaces throughout. Prams and service animals are welcome. Public transport runs nearby if you'd rather not arrange your own lift.
