The first of Hotel du Vin & Bistro Cambridge’s Wine Wednesdays kicks off today with the World of Pinot Noir
Yes, it may be January, month of abstention, but detoxing is dull. Instead, treat yourself to an evening of excellent wine in the sumptuous setting of Hotel du Vin on Trumpington Street. Oft overlooked by locals as a spot for a couple of drinks (which is a travesty, its downstairs bar is delightful), this luxurious hotel hosts Wine Wednesdays on the first Wednesday of each month, offering a chance to learn more about wine in a relaxed and friendly environment. On 6 January, explore the World of Pinot Noir, tasting a selection of this classic grape variety from around the world, or head down on 3 February to discover more about the mysterious world of Food and Wine Matching. The sessions cost £20 per person and begin at 6pm.
