Forth Coming, must see event!

One of the most successful recent Sussex events is without a doubt the Hastings Sea-Food Festival. A celebration of local food, wines and sustainable fishing. Organised by Hastings Borough Council this event has grown from 8,000 to 50,000 in only 3 years. So much so that hotels gain bookings from France, Germany, Spain and even further a field.

This year, English Vine Tours are organising the Events Marquee for Saturday 19th September. Promoting local wines and foods in 3 one-hour tastings at the low cost of only £12.50 per ticket per event.

First event, 12-1pm is Organic English Wine with Sedlescombe Vineyards. Established by Roy and Irma cook, Sedlescombe are amongst the finest English producers of organic wines.

Matching the unique wines from Taylor and Shroff (Carr Taylor) made exclusively to match hot and spicy foods with some fine Indian nibbles provided by Jali Restaurant.
