Italian Tasting: classic and quirky, Tuesday 21 February

Italy has a fantastic reputation when it comes to wine and indeed their classic exports are world-renowned. However, they tend to keep some of their more quirky grape varieties as a bit of a secret. Tom unveils these grapes and Sue artfully matches them to cheeses from Italy and beyond. Come and learn how the landscape of Italy - from the mountains of Trento to the Sicilian toe - shapes their sensational wine and cheeses.

Date: Tues 21 Feb
Time: 6–8pm. £25 per person. Includes six taster glasses of wine with cheeses to match.
