Winchester - Portugal growers - walkaround tasting
Join us for a lively journey through Portugal’s fantastic wines! From vibrant whites to bold reds, this tasting showcases the unique grape varieties and wine styles that make Portuguese wines so exciting. Discover hidden gems, sip award-winning member-favourites, and toast to a nation where tradition meets modernity in every glass!
Portugal’s wine scene is a treasure trove of exciting styles, grape varieties and regions just waiting to be discovered. From crisp, refreshing whites to rich, hearty reds; lively sparkling wines to intense fortified ones, this tasting offers something for everyone. With a history steeped in tradition and a growing reputation for innovation, Portugal’s winemakers are crafting some of the most delicious and unique wines around.
Alongside some of the great names including Symingtons, Anselmo Mendes and Blandy’s, we will feature a special focus on both the incredible, fresh, and vibrant white wines of Vinho Verde and the elegant non-fortified reds from the steep slopes of the Douro Valley. There will also be a spotlight on the fascinating indigenous white grape – Encruzado!
These events are all about ensuring our members get to taste as many of our wines as possible. They vary in size and theme, but all provide a relaxed environment for our members to guide their own tasting with a glass and booklet provided on arrival. Whether you want to discover something new, reconnect with an old favourite or try a wine you’d never ordinarily approach, then our walkaround tastings could be for you.
The close relationships we have with our winemakers, growers and producers is something we cherish. From walkaround tastings to focused roundtable discussions, we love to give members the opportunity to meet the people behind your favourite wines.
