WINE APPRECIATION GROUP – A NEW VINTAGE

New members

The Wine Appreciation Group is an unstuffy collection of people who want to learn about and compare wines that will help us choose the best – whether for a daily glass, a dinner party or even a wedding. We aim to meet every two months in Faringdon or nearby. All u3a members are welcome and there’s no annual subscription, just a charge for each event you come to.

2023 meetings programme

21 February Members Musings: We have four members introducing a varied selection of wines. The tastings will take you from South Africa to the North-West Iberian Peninsula, on to the South of France and through to the Rhône Valley. We can look forward to a thoroughly interesting selection of wines, including a blind tasting – comparing a zero-alcohol white wine with a regular wine – both from the same region.
