 Wine Events at the Festival

Festival 2004

This year we planned a festival with a difference, bringing an extensive selection of over 85 wines from around the world to the Wine Bar and a parallel and packed programme of 12 wine tastings throughout the festival. Press reports on the event were very positive and a number of photographs were taken.

Wine Bar

The Festival Wine Bar featured 13 different wines (6 white, 6 red and 1 rose).

Prize Draw

The winner of the prize draw - consisting of a 12-bottle case made up of one bottle from each of the tastings - was Mr Shaun South of Hailsham.
