Spain & Portugal: Off the Beaten Track
About this Event
Some wines are easy to find. Others feel like a secret worth sharing.
This is an evening for the second kind.
Join Raise Your Glass at The Speakcheesy, Gillygate, York as we venture beyond Rioja and Port, exploring the hidden corners of Spain and Portugal, from the rugged hills of Priorat and Bierzo to the terraces of the Douro and the Atlantic coast of Vinho Verde.
Not the obvious bottles. Not the supermarket staples. The interesting ones.
The kind that transport you to sun-drenched vineyards, long lunches and warm evenings with friends.
Across the evening, you'll taste five wines chosen for character, contrast and conversation, each paired with exceptional cheese.
Because great wine deserves great company, and sometimes that company is cheese.
At the helm is Nick Fildes, our Lead Sommelier, two decades in hospitality and a firm believer that wine should feel joyful, not intimidating.
No lectures. No maps. No need to remember regions.
Just flavour. Stories. And the quiet satisfaction of discovering something new before everyone else does.
You'll leave with:
- A handful of wines you can actually talk about
- A clearer sense of what you like
- And at least one bottle you'll want to track down again
All hosted at The Speakcheesy, warm, welcoming, and made for a sociable evening out.
This isn't a masterclass. It's a better way to spend a Thursday.
Come and see what you've been missing.
