About Alpine Wine Tasting

Listed Under Food and Drink Events / Talks and Lectures Events

Alpine Wines! Fresh, mineral-rich and instantly addictive - this May, Slonk is celebrating all things Alpine.

These mountain-grown wines offer brisk, snappy character with surprising power and structure. From France's Savoie vineyards, to Switzerland's Valais treasures, and the exciting scenes emerging from Italy's Valtellina and Alto Adige - Alpine wines are Europe's hidden gems!

Come and explore the mountains by glass - and discover what makes high-altitude wines so distinctive. We'll taste racy, linear whites with vibrant acidity, elegant lighter-bodied reds that showcase purity rather than power, and unique ancient varieties that thrive in cooler mountain climates.
