Wine Time: Upcoming Events for Wine Lovers in Beijing
We've got good news for wine lovers! It looks like November is officially the time for wine in Beijing, with numerous wine tastings taking place in the coming days and weeks. Here we've picked out a few for you to watch out for.
Final Wine Tasting at uh-huh
We recently wrote that wine bistro uh-huh would be closing their doors in November, but before they do, they're having a final wine tasting this Thursday (Nov 13) from 6pm. The theme is “Be Our Wine Judge” and will see two uh-huh “mystery friends” bring a personal selection of three wines each to face off against each other. Attendees will get a six-glass tasting flight of the wines and will get to score their favorite! Along with the wine tasting, there will be live DJ music courtesy of DJ Cleopatri. If you're unable to make it to the tasting, there will be one last chance to visit uh-huh on Nov 14 for their big closing party.
The Be Our Wine Judge Tasting Vol. 8 will take place at uh-huh on Thu, Nov 13, from 6pm until late. The six-glass wine tasting set is RMB 328/one or RMB 618/two and can be booked in advance by scanning the QR code in the poster above. You can read more about the event here.
