‘Third Thursday’ Wine and Food Evenings
Melton’s Too, Walmgate, York

We are delighted to have teamed up with Melton’s Too in York to offer a selection of wines accompanied by a hot supper in relaxed and convivial surroundings.

About ‘Third Thursday’ Wine and Food evenings.
These evenings are aimed at people who enjoy wine and would like to learn more. The evenings consist of a tutored tasting of at least 7 wines conducted by Northern Wine Academy staff or a guest speaker. Our staff are all accredited by the Wine and Spirit Education Trust and are chosen for their knowledge and enthusiasm. The evenings are relaxed and informal we want you to share our passion for wine not bamboozle you with jargon.

Many wines taste so much better with food so we have included a one course substantial hot supper plus coffee in the ticket price. The dish will be prepared by the chef at Melton’s Too in consultation with Northern Wine Academy to perfectly complement the selection of wines tasted. If you require a vegetarian meal please let us know at the time of booking.

The evenings are equally suitable for singles, couples and groups of friends as everyone is encouraged to participate and let us know what they think about the wines. You may book for one evening or an entire course. 

All  evenings start at 7.30p.m. and finish at around 9.30p.m. The cost for one evening is £29.50 or book and pay for all 5 at the same time for £135.

 Numbers are strictly limited to 25 per evening so early booking is advisable.

Thursday 21^st February – Organic and Biodynamic Wines
We are used to eating organic food but what about our wines? Organic and biodynamic wines have now gone mainstream from Californian Chardonnay to stunning Italian Chianti we taste our way through and range of wines.
Along the way we will discuss what it meant by organic and biodynamic wines.

Thursday 20^th March – An Antipodean Adventure
Our Australian evenings always sell out quickly so please book early for our tour of the Barossa, Clare Valley and Tasmania. 

Thursday 17^th April – New Zealand
A couple of hours and a world apart from Australia we explore the wines of New Zealand. Cloudy Bay was the wine which really put New Zealand wines on the map.
You decide if it is still the best of the bunch as we blind taste it against other Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs.

Thursday 15^th May – Champagne and Sparkling Wine
Can you tell Vintage from Non Vintage Champagne, New World Sparkling from Cava?
We learn about how sparkling wine is made, discuss whether it’s worth paying extra for well known brands or should you stick to small producers. We also try some English Sparkling wine.

Thursday 19^th June – Spain
We finish our spring programme of events with a selection of Spanish wines from Rioja,  Penedes, Galicia and Ribero del Duero accompanied by a selection of tapas.
