England

With over 1,000 vineyards, 220 wineries and almost 5,000 hectares of vineyards - the English wine scene is burgeoning with exciting new producers.  The quality of English sparkling wines has improved dramatically and is certainly rivalling grower Champagne - and the English still white, red and rose wines are catching up fast. Join this tasting to find out who is making the best English wines - both fizz and still - compare the different regions - and hear about the producer stories, challenges and successes of this dynamic modern wine industry. 13 wines will be tasted - from Essex, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and beyond - with Master of Wine Rose Murray Brown as your guide. A selection of artisan cheeses will also be served alongside the wines.   Pictured: The pioneering Nyetimber estate in West Sussex - the first
