The festival we didn't know we needed!
A Prosecco festival is taking place in Cork this month, and will be the first festival of its kind in Ireland.
This celebration of the majesty that is Prosecco will include masterclasses on how Prosecco is made and where it comes from, as well as Prosecco cocktail making class and a tasting event (Prosecco cocktails are a thing?!)
Organised in association with Tindal Wine Merchants, the festival will be hosted across The Metropole Hotel, Cork International Hotel and Cork Airport Hotel throughout the month.
Some of the events taking place are:
