 Delicious wines, two bestselling authors and a sun-soaked literary escape to the South of France.

Join Helen McGinn and Veronica Henry for an exclusive talk and wine tasting event. The two friends will discuss their writing life, their careers and their latest sparkling books, Under a Riviera Moon and One Night at the Château, both set in the South of France.

During the talk, enjoy a tutored tasting of four wines specially chosen to match the books, from a delicious Baron de Ray Crémant de Bordeaux to a Côtes du Rhône 'Grand Millésime' 2023, Rhône Valley red.

In addition to her novel writing, Helen regularly appears on BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen as their resident wine expert and is the author behind the brilliant The Knackered Mother’s Wine Guide. Veronica is the internationally acclaimed author of twenty-five novels published by Orion.

This event will be followed by a book signing, supported by Mr B’s Emporium of Books.
