Rioja Masterclass (St Albans)

Join us for an immersive Rioja wine masterclass, celebrating one of Spain's most renowned wine regions. Explore the rich history, diverse terroirs, and unique aging classifications that make Rioja wines truly exceptional. We'll taste through a range of six distinctive Riojas in a range for styles, showcasing some of the signature grape varieties grown in the region. We'll also discuss the culture & history of Rioja, the geographical & climatic influences, and the modern & traditional wine making techniques used to make these incredible wines. Whether you’re new to the wines of Rioja or already a fan, this masterclass is a fantastic way to deepen your appreciation for Spain's most iconic region. No tasting experience is necessary — all levels of knowledge are welcome at our events. We serve a few nibbles at our tastings to enjoy alongside the wines, but please note that these are not intended as a substantial meal. All guests must be at least 18 years old to attend this event.
