Following the tasting we will enjoy a one course dinner all for a total cost of £20.00 and you are invited to bring guests to join us, Ladies are invited to join us and an invitation has been extended to Inner Wheel.
I have visited the venue today and it looks an excellent place to enjoy an excellent evening which a Wedding Party experienced yesterday at a Wedding which was held there.
Yorkshire Heart Vineyard was started in 2006 with the planting of 1000 vines initially in just one acre which each succeeding year has seen 1000 to 3000 vines added. They now have 17,000 vines over 10 acres of land. The vast majority of their original yineyard are hybrid grapes that have been bred for Northern Europe which is one of the reasons they give for making their Award Winning Wine.
The Yorkshire Heart winery now proudly produces three wine white & three red wines as well as their sparkling rose and their Gold Medal Sparkling White.
We will need to have firm numbers for Tuesday Night’s meeting as I have to let them have them for Friday and we are limited to 30 persons.
Kind regards
Bernard
