An exquisite selection of fine wines will once again be brought to Weybridge for wine lovers to put their taste buds to the test.

Noble Vines Wine School will bring its expertise to the second Weybridge Wine Festival in aid of Sam Beare Hospice.

Whether you are partial to sparking, refreshing whites, delightfully fruity or sweet wines, there is a wine style to suit all tastes.

The range of wines on offer extends throughout the traditional wine producing counties in England and also includes selections from South Africa and Uruguay.

Chris Cowan from Noble Vines says: “This event will showcase some delicious and different wines, principally supplied by members of the Association of Small, Direct Wine merchants.

“These top quality suppliers offer something different from the usual supermarket selection and they will be available for you to taste, enjoy and purchase.

“It was such a good day last year, that we are hoping lots of new people will come along to experience a wine festival.”

To add further sophistication, there will be free tutored tastings and delicious food on hand throughout the day.

All proceeds from ticket sales and the tombola will go to Sam Beare Hospice.

Weybridge Wine Festival; Best Western Ship Hotel, Monument Green, Weybridge; April 13; £6; available from the Best Western, Sam Beare Hospice on 01483 881752 or visit weybridgewinefestival.co.uk.
