One-Day New World Wine School, Saturday 8th July 2023

Join us for our One-Day Wine School formula of a two-hour masterclass followed by a four-course luncheon with paired wines. Our New World wine school explores the fabulous wines of three of the New World’s greatest wine-producing nations – South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

In the morning masterclass, Wine Educator Michael Dabbs, will guide you through some of the major regions, grape varieties and styles of wines found in these countries. He will explain specific characteristics and why these wines are worthy of sitting alongside their Old World counterparts.

We will then invite guests to our Sussex Cellar for an apéritif before sitting down for a delicious four-course meal created by our Head Chef, Stewart Turner. Here you will explore and discuss how versatile and food-friendly these wines are.

Dress code: smart casual

NB Wines for this event will be chosen from Berry Bros. & Rudd’s stock at the time of the event. Most of the wines will be available to order afterwards.
