This October The World of Fine Wine teams up with Epicurean food and wine festival to bring you a UK vs France wine and cheese tasting masterclass, run by Francis Percival.
The Epicurean is an unlimited free sampling festival that brings together more than 130 food and drink producers displaying over 1,000 artisanal alcohol and fine food products.
Encompassing one of the UK’s largest conglomerations of fine wines, craft beers, artisanal spirits and fine foods, The Epicurean aims to take guests on a journey of discovery showcasing craftsmanship. The festival is a self-proclaimed Aladdin’s cave for wine lovers, aiming to promote top quality wines that cannot be purchased in UK supermarkets or high street outlets.
One £25 ticket will allow guests unlimited samples for the full day that incorporates masterclasses, music and art from The Epicurean Gallery and acclaimed English painter Christian Furr.
