Tim Atkin's Best of Rueda Tasting with Ticket Discount
Rueda is a region in Spain which produces **only white wines,** predominantly from the Verdejo grape. Tim Atkin and his team have tasted hundreds of wines and they are bringing the best of the region’s wineries under one roof, here in London.
## **What can you expect at this walk-round tasting…**
**The Perfect Score:** You will have the chance to taste our first ever 100 point wine from Rueda made by Bodegas De Alberto.
**Aged Classics:** There will also be plenty of wines from the DO Rueda’s Gran Vino category that shows off the aging potential of the region’s old vines. With a significant number of 100 year old vineyards – the region’s sandier soils were a natural frontier for pesky phylloxera – Rueda can produce impressive complexity.
**Exploring the Limits:** Rueda is a region of impressive innovation. Many wines in the region are now fermented and aged in amphora (or tinaja), like Emilio Pita’s Terracota 2024.
**A Wine for Every Occasion:** While many of Rueda’s wines are worthy of long cellaring, it is important to remember that not all of us have the patience to wait! Lucky for us, the quality of the region’s young wines keeps improving every year: they are honest and authentic expressions of this exceptional terroir.
**This is a walk-round tasting which will last from 5.30 to 8.30** and you can get there at any time, but don't delay if you want to taste as many wines as possible! I will be there from the start to welcome you and introduce you to other members of the group. **I will do a guided wine walk at 6.30 pm** but this will be limited to 4 people and preference will be given to new members. **Tickets are normally £30, however I have a discount for members of this group......£27 INCLUDING Meetup/Paypal fees.** You will be sent a ticket during the week of the event. I have reserved 10 tickets for the group
**Please note that Meetup now charge an additional fee to attendees on top of the price which the Organiser sets. This fee is paid direct to Meetup and is beyond our control.**
**REFUNDS:** If you cancel your place by Friday 24th April you will get a refund of £25 but, IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE, only if there is someone on the 'waitlist' who books and pays for your place.
**WAITLIST:** If this event is fully booked and you would like to attend if someone cancels, post a comment in the event to let me know that you are interested.
Cheers,
Christos

Cheese and Wine Evening | Ages 40 to 55
BOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 [HERE](https://itsadate.club/event/cheese-and-wine-evening-3/).
A fun, flavour-filled evening for wine lovers, cheese enthusiasts, and anyone keen to meet someone who shares their great taste.
Have a Mer’lot of fun meeting fellow wine enthusiasts during this full-bodied evening of Old World wines and newfound single friends. Add a cheese and charcuterie board into the mix, and you’ve got yourself some truly perfect pairings!
You’ll be welcomed at 19:15 by your It’s a Date host, who will show you where to leave your jacket and introduce you to the rest of the group. From there, you’ll enjoy three 125ml servings of hand-selected wines — typically a red, a white, and either a rosé or sparkling option. Pairing notes will be provided to give insight into each wine’s origins, add context to the flavours, and offer easy conversational cues as we explore the wines (and each other) throughout the evening.
Mid-way through, we’ll share a selection of cheeses and charcuterie — the ideal accompaniment to a relaxed, organic, and sociable night out.
Throughout the event, your host will make introductions and ensure everyone has plenty of opportunities to mingle and connect. We’ll wrap up around 21:00, after which the bar will remain open for a glass from your favourite bottle and the chance to continue socialising more widely.
Once home, you can access a list of attendees on your It’s a Date dashboard to send match feedback and organise those second dates. A match is struck when two guests reciprocate identical feedback, indicating mutual intent to reconnect and enabling messaging via our online platform.
If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with James on 07517 065 492 or [james@itsadate.club](mailto:james@itsadate.club).
