DESCRIPTION:COME WINE WITH ME – EXPLORING SPAIN & PORTUGAL \nThe wines of Spain and Portugal have increasingly grabbed the attention of the wine world in recent years. \nThere is certainly a lot more to Portugal than Port!

Places are only confirmed once paid in full and are non-refundable or transferable. \n\n\n\nDINNER: You may like to continue your evening and enjoy dinner in our restaurant following the event.
