Experience the Essence of Italy

Embark on a journey through Italy’s picturesque landscapes and diverse wine regions with Kent Barker as your expert guide. From the northern corners to the southern gems, Kent will bring each wine to life with tales of the grape’s origin and the captivating narratives of skilled wine producers.

Immerse yourself in the experience of up to six carefully selected wines per event, complemented by artisanal breads and oils.

“If you push any wine merchant hard enough for their favourite wine country, it will be either France or Italy, and for me it is Italy. Is has such an amazing range, and such fantastic grape varieties, and you have everything you want from wine across the whole country. Ranging from bold and rich reds to delicate and elegantly stylish reds and whites which absolutely dazzle. Italy delivers an incredible range of wines – much more diverse than pretty much anywhere else on the planet. So, come and join our Winter Wine Series. It will be an incredible series of evenings and we will really show you what wine in Italy is all about,” says Kent

I’m really passionate about Independent Oxford and supporting and promoting independent businesses in Oxfordshire. Indie businesses are the life blood of our towns, cities and communities, but they need support to survive and thrive. Creating a network that provides a space for indies to find peer support, knowledge and information is so important, and means businesses are far more likely to continue. Supporting indies means a stronger local economy and a closer, inclusive community for all.
