Lidl Christmas wine tour - Friday 18 December, 8pm
A perfect pre-Christmas night in, co-hosted by me and my Love Wine co-hosts. Discover highlights from Lidl's Christmas wine tour, guided by Richard Bampfield, from the comfort of your own sofa.
As well as being an immensely knowledgeable Master of Wine and known to many at our Love Wine festivals in Guildford and Birmingham, Richard is a brilliant and engaging presenter - and he's also the lead taster for Lidl wines in the UK. So join Laura, Richard and me on 18 December for an online tasting of wines from Lidl's Christmas selection.
Lots of us know that Lidl offer some cracking wine bargains. Every few months they also release a limited edition of wine tours and the current one is focused on treats for Christmas. Richard has selected a list of 6 wines, including fizz, white, red and sweet wines, that we will taste together during this evening.
The ticket price is per household (not per person), so the whole family (plus socially distanced friends and neighbours, if Covid restrictions allow) can join in with the same ticket.
When you book, your email confirmation from Eventbrite will include the list of 6 wines recommended by Richard. Then you head off to Lidl to buy 1, 2 or more of the wines to open on the night - the Christmas wine tour is due to drop in stores on 26 November. The ticket price doesn't include the cost of the wines!
You must be 18 years old or over to join the tasting. This tasting is aimed at participants in the UK, but do contact us if you're from other countries and would like to join in.
