French Wine Tasting
French Wine Tasting with Daniel Bianchi-Green
Join us for a thoughtfully curated French wine tasting with Daniel Bianchi-Green, a specialist in natural and minimal-intervention wines. Together, we’ll explore four distinct wines—one sparkling, one white, and two reds—each chosen to showcase the diversity and character of French winemaking.
Daniel will guide us through the tasting, sharing his insight into how wines made with organic and low-intervention methods better express their origins while being better for us and the environment. Whether you're a longtime wine lover or just getting into it, this is a chance to taste and learn in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Small bites will be available to complement the wines.
