Virgin Wines has launched its national wine tasting programme for 2011 and will be visiting more cities than ever before.
Virgin Wines was launched in 2000 and sources boutique-quality wines from talented, undiscovered winemakers who make their wines with love and passion. They stock over 450 wines and in the last 12 months the company has introduced 19 winemakers and 59 new wines to the UK.
In addition to hosting wine tasting events in London, Manchester, Norwich, Leeds and Edinburgh, the online wine retailer will be heading to Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham, Belfast, Reading, Sheffield and Nottingham. The programme commences on 3rd March in Cardiff and culminates in Nottingham on 10th November.
Events range from small, intimate tastings in new destinations to large, flagship events in the established locations. You can expect to taste from a wide selection of wines from around the world, and meet with winemakers and Virgin Wines’ team of personal wine advisors and wine buyers. Tickets range from £10 to £15 and customers who place an order on the day will receive the ticket price off the total price of their order, as well as a complementary bottle of red or white wine, which certainly must be a reason to attend?
Commenting on the tasting programme, Jay Wright, Managing Director of Virgin Wines said: “We’ve held wine tastings in London, Manchester and Norwich for a number of years now and they have always been very successful. Last year, we decided to extend the programme to visit a handful of new destinations including Leeds and Edinburgh. We were delighted with how popular these tasting events proved to be and, as a result, have decided to more than double the number of events we host this year. We are very excited to be visiting both Wales and Northern Ireland for the first time, along with a number of cities in the Midlands and Southern England. Wine tastings are a great way for us to meet with our customers and show them our range of wines.”
