Sampling wines and food from around the world

Our wine and food group get-togethers have a long and successful history and all Meols u3a members can attend. You don’t have to attend every one and you can attend as many as you want. Booking is required.

Members attending like a glass of wine but they certainly aren’t connoisseurs or wine-buffs: we meet each other for a relaxed and entertaining evening.

We always meet at members' houses on the first Tuesday of every second month and members offering to hold new meetings are always welcome.

Each time we meet we use a different country of origin for our wine and food sampling and this includes countries from all 5 continents, the chosen country is always decided by the host.

Once the number of members attending a meeting is finalised, single members are paired in couples and one of the pair will bring 2 bottles of either white or red wine and the other paired member will bring a small selection of food that is associated with that country. The food can either be hot or cold and ideally is quick and easy to prepare or buy. The same working principle applies to couples who attend.

These meeting are a great way of socialising with other members and making new friends. We start the evening by sampling and discussing the range of white wine on offer, then we break off to sample and eat the food and finally we then sample and discuss the range of red wine on offer.

As the evening progresses, we tend to have more laughter and fun.

And a good time is always had by all.

We hope you will join us and make our ‘Wine and Food Tasting’ meetings one of your regular activities.
