In person tasting: A journey through the white wines of the Rhone

The Rhone Valley, which stretches between Arles in the south and Lyon in the north, is well-known for its powerful reds. But on a trip to the region last summer, Michael discovered the considerable charms of the region's white wines. From Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Costieres de Nimes in the south, to Crozes-Hermitage and Condrieu in the north, the whites of the Rhone Valley offer a range of styles.

At this event, Michael will guide us through a tasting of these wines, from south to north, and explain the unique qualities of each region.
