Lismore Wines

Friday 25th October 7pm

Samantha O’Keefe – Californian by birth – pioneer and Swartland revolutionary. Her focus and passion is on cool climate, elegant and classically styled wines. Samantha’s wines are highly sought after across the globe. A great chance to sample wines from her Lismore estate.

Often referred to as a melting pot because of its range of cultural influences, South Africa has a climate ranging from Mediterranean heat to cool breezes and coastal fog. This melting pot allows for a breadth of grape varieties and styles to flourish.

Following a successful presentation of Lismore wines up in Norwich, we will present 6 of Samantha’s wines in a more formal sit down wine tasting here in Diss. South Africa’s cultural influences will be the inspiration for some tasty snacks, offered alongside the wines.

Tickets are priced at £20 per person to reflect the quality of the wines being sampled and include the food tasters.
