Tasting in Beverley

Roberts and Speight will hold a tasting of wines from Rathfinny Wine Estate on Thursday 1 May at Beverley Rugby Club starting at 7.30 pm.

Rathfinny is one of the UK’s most dynamic wine producers making delightful, elegant wines, and for battling legislation to allow them to use a 50cl bottle for some production, which proved so popular it promptly sold out.

There will be 4 Rathfinny sparkling wines, a Rathfinny still wine and 2 wines from Whitewolf Estate in Kent which is making big headlines for its quality. Tickets cost £25 to include some tapas, which seems terrific value. Check the Roberts and Speight website or ring them on 01482 870717 to book.
