Events
S for SuperNatural
We're teaming up with brunch specialists Picnic to bring together two of our favourite things: under the radar natural and low intervention wines and a summery soundtrack provided by DJ Loli Zazou (Choice Club).
For this special event, Wine Alphabet will be taking over The Little Basket space from 13:00 - 17:00, offering a choice of wine flights and light bites.
While tickets will be available on the door, due to the reduced capacity we highly recommend pre-booking your time slot before hand.
