Scalby Fair Wine Tasting Evening 2023

Mediterranean weather combining with a Scalby Fair tradition made for a guaranteed splendid evening in the capable hands of our regular Sommelier, Linda Dowson.

For the capacity crowd gathered in the Nag’s Head beer garden, she had selected a French sparkling starter followed by three whites (Argentina, Spain & Alsace) and three reds (Spain, Portugal & France).

All wines were thoroughly enjoyable and went well with the cheese and meat platters supplied by the Nag’s Head.

The Scalby Fair Chairman brought proceedings to a close by thanking Linda for another super event and this was endorsed by a round of applause from the happy throng.

Your chance to sample a selection of chosen wines and to enjoy, if you wish, either a cheese board or meat platter with your wine. Join us at 7.30pm on Wednesday, 14 June, as usual at the Nag’s Head.

The Scalby Fair Wine Tasting has proved a very popular event with increasing numbers attending each year.

We will start as usual with a glass of sparkling wine followed by the tasting of three white wines and three red wines.

There will be a short explanation of each wine and then, after tasting the wine and chatting amongst yourselves, you can enjoy guessing the cost of the bottle.

The wines this year include organic, wild fermented and a first look at a wine from Alsace. The quality will be assured as each wine is individually chosen by wine enthusiast and sommelier, our host Linda Dowson.

Tickets are available from the Nag’s Head from Friday, 12 May 2023.

Wine Tasting: £12.00
Cheese Board: £6.50
Meat Platter: £6.50
