There’s a lot to learn about wine — but the best lessons rarely come from textbooks.

They come from the people who live and breathe it.

And this month in Cork, that’s exactly what’s on offer. WineSpark is bringing three of the world’s most sought-after winemakers to the city, giving local wine lovers a rare chance to learn straight from the source — glass in hand.

If you’ve ever wanted to understand not just what you’re tasting, but why it tastes so good, this is where things start to get interesting.

Winemakers attending the WineSpark Spring Tasting will pour over 50 wines at The Dean Cork on Friday, April 24th from 6pm to 9pm.

“Some of our most popular winemakers will be flying over to Ireland to pour you their wines, and they can’t wait to meet you.” said the organisers.

“And if you ask nicely, they might have a few surprises up their sleeves! You’ll also get to try our latest discoveries. We’ve been all over Europe this year, and can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to.”

Tickets are €49 and available now here.
