France Wine Tasting at City Centre: A Fresh Look at French Wine, January

France’s wine story is endlessly fascinating, and this tasting offers a new perspective on the regions and styles that continue to influence winemaking around the world. Hosted at Loki Great Western Arcade, this French Wine Tasting explores seven wines that highlight both classic benchmarks and lesser-sung expressions from across the country.

Led by one of Loki’s expert hosts, the tasting focuses on how place, grape variety, and tradition shape French wine. Expect clarity, comparison, and plenty of opportunity to taste styles side by side, all in a relaxed and welcoming setting designed for enjoyment as much as learning.
