Recently we held our second Science of Wine event and what a night it was! Hosted at Nonna’s Supper Club in Tring, the evening brought together a big group of curious guests, plenty of conversation, and of course, some truly wonderful wines.
The star of the night was Laure Soeters, who once again guided everyone brilliantly through the tasting. This time, the focus was on exclusively Italian wines with one British sparkling slipped in for comparison. Laure brought the flavours and aromas to life, pairing them with the science of process engineering, acidity, and tannins in a way that was both engaging and accessible.
It was fantastic to see people learning not only about wine, but also about the chemistry and biology behind what ends up in the glass. The questions, laughter, and conversation flowing around the room made it clear that the mix of science and sensory experience is a winning recipe.
We also noticed something else: the event itself ran much smoother than our first session. The flow, the structure, and the rhythm of the evening all came together, proof that with each step, Collider Cafe is learning, iterating, and improving.
And the best part? We’re not stopping here. Our next Science of Wine evening will be in Aldbury, and we can’t wait to continue building on this format, sharing new wines, new insights, and new ways of exploring STEM in everyday life.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Nonna’s and to Laure for her expertise and passion. Nights like these remind us what Collider Cafe is all about: bringing people and ideas together, where curiosity meets creativity.
