Explore Corpinnat wines at this exclusive masterclass led by Gramona, one of Spain's most prestigious sparkling wine producers. Tickets are by application only!
Event details
Corpinnat is a relatively small category of prestigious traditional method sparkling wines, but what it lacks in scale it more than makes up for in quality.
We're offering you the opportunity to join us at a very special masterclass led by Leo Gramona, sixth generation winemaker for Gramona.
Over the course of this tasting, Leo will guide attendees through an in-depth exploration of Gramona’s outstanding Lustros range and delve into the history and viticulture in Penedès.
You'll have the rare opportunity to experience a vertical tasting. Guests will taste some of the finest wines in the world and learn from world experts in sparkling wine.
We're not charging for this event. Instead, we're asking interested attendees to submit an application telling us why you think we should offer you one of these coveted spaces. The form will only take a couple of minutes to fill out and we encourage a diverse range of people to apply, both from in and outside the drinks industry.
