Wine Tasting: New World vs Old World

What makes a Bordeaux so poised and structured, yet a Napa Cabernet so exuberant and fruit-driven? The answer lies as much in culture and tradition as in soil and sun.

New World vs Old World: Rules vs Rebels is an engaging wine tasting for curious drinkers who want to understand how heritage, winemaking philosophy and regional identity shape the wines we love. From the time-honoured vineyards of Europe to the bold, expressive regions of the New World, this relaxed yet educational evening will unpack the stylistic signatures that define these two great schools of winemaking.

After a welcome aperitif, your host will guide you through 8 thoughtfully selected wines, tasted side by side to highlight contrast, context and character. Expect familiar classics alongside some exciting, boundary-pushing wines that challenge expectations and sharpen your palate.

Whether you’re steeped in tradition or ready to try it, this tasting promises insight, discovery and a deeper appreciation of the diverse world of wine.
