More about the Slow Food Tasting Sessions

Mersea Island Magic: you wouldn’t have thought it possible that this small island could produce rare native oysters, sparkling wine and real ale.  Try each of these artisan products and learn how this small corner of the country is punching above its weight on the real food front

Pork with Pedigree: traditionally reared, rare breed pork is different.  Discover the real taste of pedigree pork and learn why it’s always important to ‘eat a pig with a name’

Ways with Whisky: explore the intricacies of traditional, artisan malt whisky making and try out some tantalising food matching combinations

Artisan Cheeses - Tradition and Innovation: learn how age-old cheesemaking methods are still being used to make artisan products with real character and how these same methods are being re-discovered by a new generation of cheesemakers then taste the differences and similarities

Perfect Preserves: savoury and sweet preserves are a distinctive part of our heritage.  Find out how modern producers of artisan preserves are building on traditional recipes and experimenting with great new flavours and textures

‘Will there be honey still for tea?’ - News of the plight of the honeybee cannot have failed to reach you.  Find out how London’s Beekeepers are facing the challenge of modern-day beekeeping, explore the characteristic flavours and textures of different honeys and try some imaginative combinations with food
 

Wine Tastings

There are also some fantastic drinks tasting sessions with a variety of different themes. 

You can sip and spit under the guidance of wine experts who will lead you through the best choice of wines to enjoy with each course you serve at home.

These workshops are hosted and run by specialists and experts in their field including Codorniu who will be running sparkling wine masterclasses for the first time as a tasting session.

A little bit about the Codorniu sessions:

From grape to glass, learn about the elaborate production method and rich history of sparkling wine. Hosted by Codorníu, the UK's favourite sparkling wine, this is a unique opportunity to discover the true flavours in your glass whilst enjoying a selection of award-winning wines. Each attendee will also receive a luxury goodie bag.

Wine tastings cost £7.50 - Please book online or call the box office on 0844 579 3183 to book your ticket.
