Dear wine lovers and friends,
We are delighted to invite you to our annual portfolio tasting, taking place on Saturday, October 31st and Sunday, November 1st! Nine producers will be present this year to showcase their wines, and there will be 100+ bottles open to taste. Thanks to continued enthusiastic response from previous years, we will once again be hosting lectures and roundtable discussions.
Unlike in previous years, the winemakers’ dinner at Choux will be on Sunday instead of Saturday. What hasn’t changed: chef Merijn van Berlo will be cooking a special menu, with each course paired with wines from the attending producers — who will all be present at the dinner to introduce their wines between courses.
Now that Zuiver HQ has permanently settled at De Ruijterkade 143, which has also become home to Zuiver Bar, we will be running programming there throughout the entire weekend. The shop is open both days, and the bar will be serving coffee, tea, or a glass of wine on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday evening, after the tasting, everyone is welcome for drinks. We will also make sure there is something to eat — details to follow in a later practical info email.
Please scroll down for the official invitation and tickets, practical information, and further details about the dinner at Choux. We can’t wait!
