For many people the matching of food and wine can be an anxiety, these Food & Wine matching workshops help you make the best combinations effortlessly. The workshop starts with an explanation of the principles behind food and wine combinations; which work and which don’t. Then the practical work begins, tasting examples of various food components – acidity, protein, spice, smokiness and sweetness – and finding out how, in practice, they react and interact with various wines.
