Orange Wine Tasting: The World of Amber & Gold

Orange wine is one of the oldest wine styles in the world, yet it’s only recently become one of the most exciting. Made by fermenting white grapes with their skins, orange wines offer remarkable texture, vibrant flavours, and a completely different perspective on what white wine can be.

Join us at Loki for an evening dedicated to this fascinating style, as we explore six orange wines from some of the world’s most exciting producers. From traditional Georgian qvevri wines to contemporary skin-contact bottles from Italy, Chile, France, and beyond, this tasting celebrates the diversity and creativity of orange wine.

Guided by one of Loki’s wine experts, you’ll discover how skin contact transforms white grapes, why orange wine has become a favourite among sommeliers, and how these wonderfully food-friendly wines can surprise even the most seasoned wine drinkers.

Expect bold flavours, intriguing textures, and plenty of opportunities to challenge your expectations.
