What’s on
COMPLIMENTARY WINE TASTING WITH THE FRIENDLY SOMM
Many of you have bought some lovely wines through our new online wine store, The Friendly Somm. Back in October 2024 we launched the site with a free tasting in our Front Room, and it went so well we’re doing it again!
On Wednesday, 23rd April (the Wednesday after Easter) we’ll be opening the Windsor St doors for a run through of some old favourites and new releases. Starting at 3pm until around 6pm with some light cichetti (canapés) served alongside the wines.
A tempting discount applies to those attending who place orders from the tasting.
There will also be a selection of indent wines from our supplier
Single Vineyard Sellers to taste as well.
With limited space for walk-ins, priority will be given to those who register so if you want to attend book now.
