An Introduction to Wine Tasting: Autumn Edition with Ellis Wines

Welcome to An Introduction to Wine Tasting: Autumn Edition!

Join us for a light, relaxed evening of wine tasting upstairs at The Robin Hood. Guided by Chris White from Ellis Wines, this session is designed for the autumn season - cosy, flavourful and perfect for anyone curious about wine, whether you're a total beginner or a regular enthusiast.

You’ll explore four distinctive white wines and four rich reds, each chosen to reflect the depth, warmth and character of autumn drinking.

Chris brings nearly 20 years of experience in the wine world, having spent a decade working with independent restaurants across the South West and another in hospitality. His warm, informal style makes learning about wine enjoyable and approachable - expect plenty of insight without the jargon.

To enhance the tasting, our in-house chef Dennis Ray Veazey will serve a seasonal selection of cheeses (vegan option available), from soft and mellow to bold and tangy, thoughtfully paired to complement the wines and elevate each sip.

Over the course of 90 relaxed minutes, Chris will introduce the essentials of wine tasting - how to explore aroma, balance flavour profiles, and find wines that suit your palate. This is a chance to deepen your appreciation of wine in a friendly and welcoming setting.

Whether you’re keen to learn more or just fancy a different kind of evening out, this autumn edition is a great way to enjoy wine, food, and good company.
