The Wine & Spirits Theatre at the National Geographic Traveller (UK) Food Festival is where the world of drinks comes to life. Here, master sommeliers and expert distillers guide you through the flavours, techniques, and traditions that define some of the finest wines and spirits. Each session is designed to deepen your understanding of terroir, grape varieties, and distillation methods, offering a rare opportunity to taste and learn from those who know these drinks best.
In 2025, expect a carefully curated line-up of wine collectives and producers sharing insights into what makes their country’s viticulture unique. Previous sessions have explored everything from Old World classics to innovative new regions, alongside select spirit tastings, cocktail sessions, and an exploration of unique wine production regions across the globe.
Whether you’re a connoisseur or simply curious to learn more, these guided tastings will refine your palate and expand your knowledge.
