This afternoon class gives delegates a chance to practice their tasting skills as well as the opportunity to gain knowledge about Sherry!

Every bar in the land stocks Sherry, but how often does it find its way to the table?
What is the difference between the wide range of styles available?
How should they be served to show them at their best?
What type of foods do they combine with?
Come and find out the answers to these and other questions at this tutored tasting offered by the Sherry Institute of Spain featuring a complete range of Sherries drawn from all the major importers.
