Northern Ireland Wine and Spirit Institute (NIWSI)

Tuesday 10 February - 8:00pm: Wines of Lanzarote with Sinead Germaine Smyth

Sinead holds a BA in Culinary Arts from Dublin Institute of Technology and is Chair of Wine Spirit Women Ireland as well as a freelance wine consultant working with several wine companies in Dublin and beyond and recently became an Ambassador for Wines of Lanzarote.

She is a great enthusiast for all things wine and in particular for these wonderful wines from the “moonscape” vineyards of sunny Lanzarote where we will taste a range from Sparkling, to mineral driven Malvasia whites, fruity reds and exquisite sweeties. Bring your parasols, sunhats and after-sun cream and expect to have your tastebuds tantilised.

The Northern Ireland Wine & Spirits Institute (NIWSI) is a not-for-profit group of wine enthusiasts who are serious about wine. Our monthly wine tastings are hosted by wine experts and special guests, on a range of topics. We welcome anyone who is curious about wine. 

Tastings are held at the Ramada by Wyndham, Belfast City Centre. If you'd like to attend a tasting or join the Institute, contact: NIWSIsecretary@yahoo.co.uk. Our event and membership fees go directly into providing the best and most exciting wines for our members.

The Institute was founded in November 1979, at a meeting in the Wellington Park Hotel, Belfast and originally named the Northern Ireland Wine & Spirit Education Trust Association. The name was later changed to avoid confusion with the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
