Galway Food Festival Program

Easter is once again upon us, meaning we’re closed this Friday, but to make amends we’re running a bunch of tastings and events in the shop.

On Thursday 24^th we will kick off with our Game of Rhônes blind tasting from 6pm-8pm.

Our tastings kick-off again at 11am on Saturday 26^th with our To Rioja and Beyond Spanish tasting.

This tasting will be run 4 times on Saturday at 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm.

We will also have an Italian Tip to Toe tasting running at 12pm, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm.

And if you have room left for a glass or two Saturday night why not call into our popup wine bar between 8pm and 10pm.

We look forward to seeing you over food festival and wish you all a happy Easter.

A Stroll Through Italy

Here are the wines we tasted from Thursday’s wine tasting ‘A Stroll Through Italy’. Apologies for the delay, we had a wonderfully hectic few days with the tastings at the food festival, queues out the door and down past Cava Bodega a couple of times. I will add the wines tried from both the Spanish and Chocolate pairings later.
