Step into the intriguing world of Alsatian wines – a session dedicated to exploring the unique character of this renowned French wine region. Known for its aromatic white wines that balance crisp acidity with expressive floral and mineral notes and its renowned spice character, Alsace offers a fascinating glimpse into the art of winemaking. From Riesling to Gewurztraminer, we love Alsace and hope that you will come to love it as well!
This session will be led by CUBWTS alumnus and 2005–2006 Team Captain and Top Taster Aidan Craigwood!
We will be providing six white and six red wines for the tasting.

Refund policy: Please note that, as of 2025, we are no longer issuing refunds. This decision was made in an effort to reduce our operating costs and the administrative burden on our committee of student-volunteers. In lieu of refunds, there is now a ‘CUBWTS Marketplace’ WhatsApp Group dedicated to the resale of tickets. If you miss the chance to purchase a ticket for a Sunday session, you will now be able to connect with someone who can no longer attend and purchase their ticket directly. We hope this solution helps to streamline ticketing, and we sincerely appreciate your patience as we try this new approach. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Thank you for your continued support.
