Celebrating all things sparkling wine and artisan food, Fizz Feast boasts an array of producers from all over the world, local Edinburgh retailers and everyone in between to showcase their newest and most exciting wines.

As well as wine, the Feast Hall invites artisan food producers from across Scotland and overseas to shine a spotlight on their wares.

“Whether you’re after some cured meats and cheeses to nibble on after you’ve tasted some bubbles, or some chocolate, honey or even a candle or two to take home as gifts, you’ll find something for everyone in the continuously expanding feast section of our event,” the event page writes.

Everyone attending Fizz Feast will also be given a Riedel Champagne flute to keep on arrival. If you attend a masterclass you’ll get a second one too.
