The UK’s leading wine buffs are on hand to guide you through to vino heaven
Get your festive season off to an early, suitably boozy start at the Corn Exchange this month, when the venue welcomes Cracking Christmas Wines with the Three Wine Men on 18 November. You’ll be in good company as Oz Clarke, Tim Atkin MW and Olly Smith, three of the UK’s leading wine experts, steward you through top tipples and start you on your road to vinous pleasure. There will be hundreds of excellent wines on offer, with exhibitors offering samples and serving up special offers if you find a bottle just too good not to buy.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re an expert, enthusiast or just enjoy the occasional slurp,” says Oz Clarke. “There is something for all those with a curious palate. As well as the walk around tasting there is a learning zone for those new to wine tastings and masterclasses for more in-depth knowledge. Just grab a glass and join in!”
There are sessions at midday and 4pm, and tickets are priced at £29.50 per session (or £56 for both, if you really want to get stuck in).
