Premium Eastern European Wine Masterclass

Flying Circus is hosting a Premium Eastern European Wine Masterclass on Sunday 15 November, starting at 14:00. It's a dedicated session on premium wines from Eastern Europe, and the whole thing is run as a masterclass, so you're not just tasting a few glasses in silence — there's a proper focus on the wines themselves.

Eastern European wines don't often get the same spotlight as the big names from France, Italy or Spain, so this is a good chance to get a proper look at what's coming from that part of the continent. The 'premium' part of the title tells you where the focus lies: these aren't your everyday supermarket bottles, but the higher-end stuff the region produces. If you've mostly stuck to the usual suspects, it's a decent way to branch out and see what you've been missing.

Because it's a masterclass, the afternoon is built around tasting and talking through the wines rather than just drinking them. You'll get to sample a range of premium bottles from across Eastern Europe, with the session designed to walk you through the different styles and the regions they come from. It's a slow-paced way to spend a Sunday afternoon, with plenty of room to actually taste what's in the glass and hear about why these particular wines are being highlighted.

It kicks off at 14:00 at Flying Circus in Lincoln, and tickets are £40.
