RIEDEL: ART OF THE GLASS

In this wine glass workshop, you’ll learn about the relationship between the shape of a glass, and your perception and enjoyment of wine. Led by Riedel expert Alysha Harker, experience a sensory tasting where you’ll learn how the wine glass can change and enhance your wine.

THE ALSACE WINE REGION 

Join us for a tasting of select Alsace wines and experience the region’s vibrant character in every sip. Explore France’s oldest wine route and taste the diversity that makes Alsace truly rock — from its 13 unique soil types to its sun-soaked, mountain-kissed vineyards.

SAKE ICON 

Join us for a tasting journey into the world of Japanese Saké. Try the Brewmasters Choice from the 5th oldest brewery in Japan, modelled on the type of Saké brew master’s would choose to drink every night; and presented by one of the few Saké Samurais in the world.
