By Mathew Lyons

Published: 27 January, 2016

The date of this year's annual Vinho Verde tasting has been announced.

The event will take place on Wednesday April 6 from 11:00am to 6:00pm.

Visitors will have the opportunity to sample over 135 wines from 27 producers during the tasting.

The producers will be representing the full spectrum of wine making from the Vinho Verde region in north west Portugal.

Peter McCombie MW will be hosting a number of seminars during the day, on subjects such as food-and-wine matching for Vinho Verde and British cuisine, and whether your wine list is missing out on Vinho Verde.

Guests will be served British canapés to pair with the wines being exhibited at lunchtime.

Sales of Portuguese wine in the UK grew 10% in 2014, and the UK is an increasingly important export market for Vinho Verde, in particular.

The UK is one of Vinho Verde's fastest growing export markets, alongside Germany and Brazil.

The Vinho Verde annual tasting will be held at The Music Rooms, 26 South Molton Lane, Mayfair, London W1K 5LF.

To register your interest in the range of seminars at the event, or for any queries you may have regarding the event itself, please email vinhoverde@cubecom.co.uk.
