BORDEAUX WINE FESTIVAL
The culmination of this years River Festival was
the second Bordeaux Wine Festival, held on the
iconic UNESCO World Heritage waterfront in
the shadows of the three graces. With 14 wine
growers and over 4,500 bottles of Bordeaux wine
tasted, the city has truly fallen for the charms of
the wine region.
The festival which won the NOEA Award’s Best
New Event, in its inaugural year, has gone from
strength to strength with new elements including a
Sommelier competition which added even greater
interest to the original award-winning format.
Visitors from the city and across the UK enjoyed
8 tasting glasses of wines from the region, Chef
demonstrations from some of the UK’s best new
Chefs and a gastronomic feast served by some of
the regions best foodies. And like all good events,
plans for next years are already underway!
