Join us on Wednesday 15th June for our first #80Harvests online wine tasting exploring the wines and regions of South America.
You can join us from anywhere in the world as we taste and explore five wines from South America though a live broadcast. We will discuss what makes each wine and region unique, share some tales from our global wine adventure around the world, and you’ll have the opportunity to engage with us and ask questions during the livestream.

What wines will we taste?
We know it is sometimes hard to get specific wines so we have picked a wine list that hopefully you can find anywhere in the world. These are the wines we will be tasting (the winery, brand and budget is up to you!)
- Torrontes, Argentina (ideally from Salta)
- Sauvignon Blanc, Chile (ideally from Casablanca or San Antonio)
- Malbec, Argentina (ideally from Mendoza)
- Carignan, Chile (ideally VIGNO from Maule, Chile)
- Sparkling wine, Brazil (or any other South American bubbly!)
Make sure you have at least 3 glasses (one for white wine, one for red, and one for sparkling) or ideally 5 glasses (2 white, 2 red, 1 sparkling) per person. Have your white wines and sparkling wine chilled – you can keep your sparkling in the fridge until we pull ours out!
If you struggle to find any of the wines above then write to us cheers@80harvests.com and we can recommend an alternative available in your area. Feel free to ask any questions about alternatives during the broadcast, we want you to take part and interact with us while we are tasting!
