Running throughout September, customers can enjoy an array of Prosecco-themed delights including speciality cocktails in The Great Room and The Merchant’s Cocktail Bar, a special tasting flight, Prosecco themed events and masterclasses.

Last year, The Merchant served almost 1,000 bottles of Prosecco during the month-long festival and with this year’s expanded programme bubbling with new events and offers, it’s anticipated that fans of fizz will exceed that total this September.

A range of speciality cocktails and Prosecco by the glass offers will run across the hotel throughout September, with a Valdo Prosecco tasting flight offering three glasses of delectable Prosecco varieties for £13.95.

Gavin Carroll, general manager, The Merchant Hotel said: “Following the success of its inaugural outing in 2017, we are excited to bring The Merchant’s Festival of Prosecco back for a second year, with a range of stylish, fizz-infused events taking place throughout September.

“We’ve developed a carefully selected programme of events, building on last year’s offering.  This year the Festival will appeal to those looking to increase their existing knowledge, whilst showcasing the wealth and style available within this versatile wine.
