Our July 2026 event themes will follow a focus on the “deductive tasting method”, also known as “blind tasting”, which professional sommeliers study in their pursuit to master the classic wine styles of the world. Our final event for July will celebrate the wonders of bottle age, through the lens of incredible Italian wines. Classic styles such as Barolo, Brunello, and Amarone will be featured, and it will be a real treat to compare these titans.
All wines will be presented blind, including the features below, plus other surprises!
