This champagne tasting experience will introduce guests to the less known cuvee from champagne, highlighting the nuanced characteristics unique to each. Eight champagnes will be tasted in total, across various styles. The experience will be an informal sit-down tutored tasting, taking place at The Finest Bubble HQ in Islington.
Guests will be able to taste, ask questions and expand their knowledge of champagne and hopefully broaden their list of favourites. The tasting will be presented by The Finest Bubble's Nick Baker.
