Each month will explore a different region with those in attendance able to indulge in a welcoming aperitivo as well as five winters to taste and accompanying nibbles for £25.

The series will kick off in the heart of fine Italian wine, Piedmont, on February 19 and 26 at 5pm.

Wine experts will be on hand in the form of James and Davide who will guide guests through the historic wine region whilst exploring what makes its wines so unique - this will include a look at the king and queen of Italian reds: Barolo and Barbaresco.

“These nights will pose an unmissable opportunity to compare and discover new favourites this year that will see you all the way into the winter months.”
