Join us to taste, compare and discuss six outstanding wines and cheeses from the Jura region in France.
Event details
Evenings
Nestled near the Swiss border of Eastern France lies the Jura, France’s smallest wine region. It is an area that has exploded onto the world stage in recent years thanks to its unique and complex wines and equally distinct cheeses.
Jura wines have become increasingly prized and hard to find, but wine educator Anjali Douglas DipWSET has lined up six outstanding examples for you to taste alongside a range of cheeses expertly selected by cheese journalist Patrick McGuigan.
You’ll discover the production methods behind both the wines and cheeses, learn about the small-scale producers responsible for them, and taste some show-stopping wine and cheese combinations.
