In betwixt and between all the bits and pieces that Emily, Amanda and I are working on to prepare for the Wine Festival, we’re finding time to get quite excited about it all!
We have some really excellent bars on board, all of whom are known for putting extra effort into making sure that they have interesting wine lists. Some of them will be featuring specific wines for the festival, while others will be opening their whole wine list.
We’re gradually getting to a point where we can think about events that will take place throughout the Festival month – the launch and final event are taking shape, and tastings will be peppered throughout the month at the various venues.
