If you joined us for Rhône in White last year you'll know when it comes to trade tastings Rhône Valley Vineyards know how to put on a great event and this is one event not to miss. Have a look at the 1 minute video from last year here.

The tasting will take in the Rhône’s pyramid of appellations, offering a clear view of how the wines evolve in style and structure, from approachable, everyday bottles through to more defined and age-worthy Crus.

Along the way, expect everything from lighter, fresher styles that lend themselves well to being served chilled, through to more structured wines built for the table — all underpinned by that familiar Rhône balance of generosity and drinkability.

Rather than approaching the wines purely by appellation, we’ll also look at them through how and when people actually drink them today — from food pairings to more informal serves — alongside a closer look at the region’s ongoing work around sustainability.
