Planeta vs I.J Mellis Virtual Wine and Cheese Tasting

Planeta Wines vs I.J Mellis Virtual Wine and Cheese Tasting

Friday 5th of March @ 7 pm

Bringing you one of Sicily's best vineyards with Scotland's best cheeses houses for the ultimate virtual tasting.

After many successful virtual tastings last year we bring you the second in our 2021 series, and due to the majority of you last year ordering our Antipasto platters to accompany the tastings we’ve teamed up with I.J Mellis to offer the ultimate wine & food pairing. We’ve had Rory Mellis pair up 2 kinds of cheese and 2 types of meat to go perfectly with the wines from Planeta.

Join us for an evening of wine, cheese, and meat tasting. Also, this time around we are including Planeta lovely olive oil and a recipe card so you can make your own focaccia prior to the tasting to sample the olive oil and those tasty Perello Gordal olives!

Become a chef for the evening, try some fantastic wines paired with meats and cheese and sit down and enjoy - all live from Zoom.

We are bringing you the best of both wine from Planeta in Scilly and cheese & meats from one of Scotland’s finest purveyors of fine cheese and meats.

When: 5th of March, 7 pm Live from Zoom.

Live from Sicily, Edinburgh, Banchory, and Aberdeen.
