Ages 18+ Fan of punchy Belgians? This is the class for you. For this masterclass, we’ll be taking a (figurative) trip to Belgium to sample a whole range of delicious, deep, punchy brews. We’ll be exploring Trappist & Abbeys, finding out the differences between them, the history behind them, and about the monks who made them.
Ages 18+ See ya Sauvignon! So long Chardonnay! Don't get us wrong, we do love the classics . Who doesn't love a tasty chardonnay? And a sauvignon on a hot sunny day - perfection! But for this masterclass, we'll be tasting a range of white wines that you may have never heard of - and discovering where they're from, which grapes are used, and how they taste.
Ages 18+ You can’t beat the combo that is Cheese & Wine. You can keep your eggs and bacon, or even your coffee and croissant (ooh controversial!) because cheese and wine will, in our opinion, always come out on top. For this masterclass, we’ll not only be tasting a whole range of wine and cheese pairings, but teaching you what goes with what, and how you can perfectly pair at home.
Ages 18+ For this masterclass, we're teaming up with our pals at Santina's Pizza to bring you a match made in heaven. Pizza lovers unite - this one's for you. We can't wait to welcome back our friends Santina's Woodfired Pizza to V and B Northampton. We have been fortunate enough to work with Santina's for multiple events here on St Giles Square (who can remember our coronation party in 2023? AND our 3rd birthday celebrations this year!) and one thing's for sure - their pizza is perfection. For this masterclass, you can taste 6 different Santina's pizzas, paired with 6 different V and B beers - all expertly explained not only on how they taste, but why they work together. This is definitely not one to miss!
Ages 18+ For this masterclass, we’re going global.
Ages 18+ For those wanting to try something a little bit different...
Ages 18+ Proost/Santé! Belgium is famous for lots of things - great chips, delicious chocolate, waffles even! But our favourite Belgian export has got to be its beer. Taste a variety of Belgian brews, and learn about its rich history, strict brewing rules and famous beer culture.
Ages 18+ Dip into the wonderful world of rosé. Everyone has their favourite style of rosé, but have you ever wondered what's behind it? Are you team blush? Or do you prefer something sweeter? Learn about the grapes, regions and methods behind one of our favourite summer tipples.
Ages 18+ A closer look at France’s biggest appellations. Beat those back to school blues and join us on a trip around the main wine-making regions of France. We’ll be exploring the most famous and prestigious French appellations and seeing what makes them so popular, how the styles of wine vary across the country and which region does it best.
Ages 18+ A lesson in fizz - à la française. Move over Prosecco. See you around Cava! This one’s for the frenchies. For this masterclass, we’ll be exploring French sparkling wine. From Champagne to Vouvray, and everything in between. If it’s French and fizzy - we’ll give it a try!
