Austrian Tasting UK - The Stay-at-home Edition

Austrian Wine offers a unique tasting format for the British wine experts in cooperation with the Austrian Embassy London and the Austrian Trade Commission in London. Sommeliers, Press and Trade have the opportunity to discover winegrowers’ portfolios first-hand. Every guest has the chance to select 12 portfolios from a range of 50 winegrowers. Guests will receive a box of samples of the chosen wineries just before the event. These will be delivered in 100 ml bottles. During the course of the tasting on 12 April 2021, winemakers will be available for discussions and networking on the online platform Brella.
