Consigli DiVini - » Oh Good, Another Wine Event!

Following the initial elation and subsequent disappointment of not being able to attend last week’s international wine fair, I’m on the hunt for a wine event that EVERYBODY is allowed to attend.

I was crushed, I tell you, crushed on finding out that only traders could attend that festival (p.s. you had to show some sort of identification to prove you were involved in the wine trade. I have none. I’m just a simple old blogger).

In reading my previous post about it, you could tell I was looking forward to it, no? For a split second, I did consider still making an appearance to see if they’d let me in, but being turned away would have been too embarrassing (like a celebrity being refused entry to a club).

So I’m looking for another one. Let’s see what’s on, shall we?

1) Great!, I’ve just found something! It’s a wine tour called ‘Vinopolis: City of Wine’. Looks interesting. Involves a tour (of the building) exploring wines from different regions around the world from ‘the vineyards of England’ to ‘the Chianti region of Italy’. Must investigate further, but so far, so good.

2) Yay!, there’s a wine event coming up in October. Hope I can make this one as I may be travelling around that time. It’s a 4-day event called ‘The Wine Show’. It mentions ‘15,000 wine enthusiasts and 75 exhibitors’ which sounds pretty lively. It’ll include wine talks, wine tasting (goes without saying!), and the opportunity to buy wine from small producers. I must check if there’ll be any Italian wine there. There’s bound to be.

This time round, I’m going to read the admission requirements for these 2 events THOROUGHLY.

It would be great to attend at least one wine event this summer.

Ciao!
