Fill your glass without emptying your wallet in Beijing: Torres Taste of Nations, Hilton Wine Experience

Posted on | September 14, 2009 | No Comments

If, as I do, you like the sound of filling your glass with dozens of wines while only emptying your wallet of a few kuai, then good times are coming as two of the best-value annual Beijing events are almost upon us.

First, Torres China will hold its third annual Taste of the Nations event on Saturday, September 26, from 2 PM to 5:30 PM at the Chilean embassy. The event will include 150 wines from a dozen countries. Tickets are RMB208 at the door, RMB188 prepaid – contact Sophie Sun at sophie.sun@everwines.com / 5165-5519, extension 208.

Then, the Hilton Beijing hold mark a dozen years since it held its first “wine experience.” Prepare to choose among hundreds of wines on November 9, with the trade portion slated for the morning and consumers getting the chance to exercise their taste buds in the afternoon. I’ll have details on the price, seminars, and more shortly.
