Join us for a three-part series ‘The Colour of Wine’, as we explore the wine industry from perspectives that have previously been unheard.
The wine industry is notorious for being white, male, elitist, and often intimidating. We examine what stepping into this industry is like, as a person of colour, experiences encountered, and opportunities for change.
The panel discussion will be followed by a wine pairing with foods from the heritage of our panellists, and a short Q/A.
Throughout the colour of wine series, we have panellists based in the UK, and France from a variety of occupations including Sommelier, Writer, Educator, and Producer.
This event is in partnership with WSET Global (The Wine and Spirit Education Trust) and Nyetimber.
