About the Grand Tour Wine Tasting

Warm, sunny weather is upon us, and it’s got us daydreaming about a summer holiday! Whether your fantasies take you to the South of France or the coast of Portugal, we’ve got just the wine to transport you there.

Join Wine Educator Lydia Gill for the first of a series of wine tasting experiences taking place at the magnificent Ardgowan House. Overlooking the River Clyde, this 18th century Palladian mansion is the perfect setting to get you in the mindset for a summer holiday. As you sip on a series of six wines hand-picked by our wine professionals and enjoy delicious Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and deli platters from our elegant grazing table, you’ll learn about the provenance of each wine, basic wine etiquette, and best practices for food and wine pairing.

No need to pack your luggage - your summer holiday is just a glass of wine away!
