The French salon of the 17th & 18th centuries, we are told by
Wikipedia,
was a gathering of stimulating people under the roof of an inspiring hostess.
Their aim was to amuse one another and to refine their taste and increase
their knowledge through conversation and readings, often consciously following
the poet Horace's definition of the aims of poetry - 'to please and educate'.
What better way to describe the aims of a Whisky Wine & Words tasting event!
A present day setting in which fine Italian wines and Scotch whiskies of character can be enjoyed and more fully understood, where conversation will stem not only from an appreciation of the liquid in your glass, but from a line of verse, a snatch of traditional song, a folktale or legend, the evocation of a moment in history.
Our events are designed to suit any audience and can be conducted in English or Italian - or both!
