Around the world in 50 rosé wines
On Saturday and Sunday, February 3 and 4, there were even more wines on offer - with a showcase of 50 different varieties from across the globe, spanning five distinct tasting stations.
MacKenzie Hall just off View Street hosted the three-hour tasting sessions, with guests able to learn about the grape varieties, climate and soil conditions that go into making their favourite tipple.
