Our very first Amsterdam Wine Lovers Meetup starts with a surprising theme! We take you for a wine and culinary tour around the lands that invented and developed the world's very first wines! Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Italy... We tasted 6 wines from 6 of the first winemaking regions. Great wines (& bites), chill vibes and awesome people! WHAT TO EXPECT: - Informal and laid back atmosphere. No suits & no snobs, please! - We are drinking the wine, not just tasting it. - Good wine storytelling - 6-7 wines from local and international grapes paired with the appropriate finger food Hope to see you there!
