Our very first Amsterdam Wine Lovers Meetup starts with a surprising theme!
We take you for a wine and culinary tour around the lands that invented and developed the world's very first wines! Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Italy...
We tasted 6 wines from 6 of the first winemaking regions.
Great wines (& bites), chill vibes and awesome people!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Informal and laid back atmosphere. No suits & no snobs, please!
- We are drinking the wine, not just tasting it.
- Good wine storytelling
- 6-7 wines from local and international grapes paired with the appropriate finger food
Hope to see you there!
2. We are a community
of peers who love
wine, want to
explore it, un-
complicate it, and
share it with great
people.
