Après Wine Tasting! Mountain Wines!

Wines grown in the mountains, made for the mountains !

This November, we’re celebrating the ritual of après-ski — that glorious moment when the cold fades, boots come off, and the first glass is poured.

Think snow-dusted evenings, chalet warmth, woollen jumpers, and the hum of friends thawing out together. This tasting is for everyone who craves a glass of wine that tastes like crisp air and warm fires.

Starting with Sparkling, we’ll be tasting wines born in the mountains — and made for mountain life — including a special Swiss pour alongside bright alpine whites, crystalline mountain reds, and even wine from Canada’s rugged Okanagan Valley.

📍 📅 Sunday, 30 November 2025 at 5.00pm
