Sparkling Wine Tasting

Kick off the new year in a festive and relaxed way with a sparkling wine tasting full of elegance, freshness, and discovery. For some, it might even be the perfect moment to gently wrap up Dry January — for everyone else, it’s simply a great excuse to enjoy beautiful bubbles.

During this guided tasting, you’ll explore 6 carefully selected sparkling wines. The focus is on Portuguese sparkling wines, known locally as espumantes, which are widely regarded as some of Portugal’s highest-quality wines. Many of them are made using the traditional method — the same method used in Champagne — making them ideal for comparison with international classics.

Alongside Portuguese espumantes, we’ll taste one Champagne and a selection of well-known sparkling wines from other countries. This line-up offers insights into how grape varieties, climate, and winemaking traditions influence style and character of sparkling wines.
