Would you like to discover hidden wine regions?  This Decanter Fine Wine Encounter will introduce us to the hidden regions of Italy, Greece and Bulgaria.

The event in November was so spectacular, I promise... Most of us consumed £300 worth of wine each and this time around will be no different.

WHAT STYLE OF EVENT IS IT:

If you've never been to a wine festival,  there will be lots of tables, each with around different 10 wines to try. In total probably around 600 wines.  You walk around, sampling the different wines and talking to the producers. It's very informal and not snobby at all - it's amazing!  I try to focus on one grape at a time, meaning that I will try a Sauvingon Blanc from each table. Or I try all the whites first, then come back and try the reds.

LOCATION:

Venue: Chandos House
