- A very fun masterclass to walk you through the wines and transport you to the Atlantic sea.
You will taste and learn about each of the the Wine styles, hear what makes them uniquely special, become a wizard on what they pair best with and basically have a grand time, tasting it all for yourself, as guided by our Founding Sommelier & Spanish Wine Expert, Isobel Salamon.
