Barolo and Barbaresco Masterclass with Barbara Drew MW, Thursday 25th March 2021

The price above is per household and includes everything you'll need for this tasting, which we'll deliver to your doorstep ahead of this event.

Although a much smaller region, Barolo is often compared to Burgundy in terms of the quality of its wines and the complexity of its terroir. As in Burgundy, wines are made from a single noble variety, and the best take years of ageing to reach maturity. Somewhat less well-known, but no less exciting, is Barolo’s neighbour to the east: Barbaresco. Here, wines made from the same grape, Nebbiolo, are said to be easier to enjoy in their youth than the famously age-worthy wines of Barolo. Join your host for this in-depth look at these exciting regions.

We will arrange a delivery of a selection of wines directly to your home. On the evening of the event, you’ll log in via Zoom where our expert host will take you through a tasting of four wines. The ticket price includes full-sized bottles (75cl) of all the wines, so you can share the experience with family and friends. The virtual tasting will start at 6.30pm and last one hour and 15 minutes. Once a ticket has been booked, we’ll email you to confirm the details of your delivery.
