Pour My Bluff

Tickets £27 incl 8 x 60ml glasses of wine

Platters made up by Snug cafe are available to buy alongside tickets

Think you know your wine?

Want to both taste some fine wines and also understand more about them?

Fancy some fun and competition whilst learning?

Then this event is for you.

 Think of it as Call My Bluff meets Would I Lie to You lubricated by wine.

The wonderful Pierre Le Vin team, wine suppliers to the festival, have selected 8 special wines for you all to taste.

And to make it more interesting and fun a panel of local ‘experts’ will talk to you about each wine.

But only one is telling the truth, can you work out who is telling the truth and who is bluffing?

 Add in a wine quiz to test your knowledge and a platter of bread, cheeses and nibbles to give you a good thirst and you’ll have a great evening.

With prizes for those who can see through the lies and find the truth.
