Wine in the Grapes Hill Garden

Wednesday June 24th, 6pm (till 8pm approx)

We’re hoping for a repeat of last year’s wonderful weather as we return to one of our favourite grass roots local community projects.

We’ll be pouring six natural wines which are exclusive to Substrata in the UK. We’ve selected beverages well suited to al fresco summer drinking, and to complete the picnic feel we have the pleasure of working once again with Rambling Roots, who have devised a mouth watering menu of plant based canapés to augment the tasting.

Come along and enjoy:
