Delighted to have hosted such an interesting masterclass exploring the diversity of two of Europe’s most important wine producing countries: Spain and Portugal.

The quality of the wines was outstanding, and our knowledgeable guests had the opportunity to experience how each wine reflects its unique region of origin while discovering the influence of terroir across the diverse wine regions of both countries.

A very successful event that we hope to host again soon! 👏🏼🥂🍷

Many thanks to Wines of Portugal, Intervinos España, and the wonderful Virgilio Gennaro, whose expertise and engaging presentation made this masterclass truly exceptional! 👏🏼👏🏼
