6 things to do in the North East this weekend
HWC Presents: Women in Wine (Part 2)
When: Thursday 7th November, 7.00pm
Where: House Bar Heaton
Price: £40
It’s been (just over) a year since the first HWC tasting, and to celebrate, they’ve decided to revisit women in wine. Promoting and stocking wine made by women winemakers and women-led wineries is always on their mind, but in an industry in which women winemakers are definitely the minority, they can be hard to come by. Head to House Bar Heaton on Thursday 7th November at 7.00pm to celebrate more women in wine and one year of HWC. Tickets on sale from 12.00pm Monday 28th October, limited as always. £40 for six glasses, snacks and a good time.
