Museum of Science and Industry

Celebrity wine aficionados Tim Atkin, Olly Smith and Oz Clarke will hold a weekend of wine tasting, cookery classes, demonstrations and discussions at MOSI next weekend (1-2 October 2011). The three men are all famous for their passion for wine, which they have enthused about on TV, radio and in print.

Now, in Three Wine Men they come together to meet fellow wine lovers to enthuse about wine, dispel common wine myths and train taste buds to spot the difference between a Sauvignon Blanc and a Riesling. The Three Wine Men event includes an opportunity to chat to Olly, Oz and Tim, 500 wines to taste and many to buy, cookery masterclasses, face-to-face meetings with winemakers, glassware demonstrations, and more.

MOSI Director Tony Hill said: "I'm delighted to welcome Tim, Olly and Oz to MOSI. MOSI is about making scientific processes fun and accessible to all and what could be better than learning about making and tasting wine from the real experts."

Tickets are available from www.threewinemen.co.uk

Creativetourist.com is an online magazine, a series of city guides and a collaborative project that has been put together by Manchester Museums Consortium, a group of eight museums and galleries - Cornerhouse, Imperial War Museum North, The Lowry, Manchester Art Gallery, The Manchester Museum, (MOSI) Museum of Science & Industry, People's History Museum, and The Whitworth Art Gallery - in Manchester.  These venues have a dual vision: the desire to stage intelligent, thought-provoking and international exhibitions and events and to celebrate the city in which they live, work and play. Creativetourist.com, with its mix of exclusive features, interviews, arts news and city guides, allows readers to discover more about what's happening in the city, uncover its outstanding cultural programme and collections, and perhaps come to be as passionate about Manchester as its inhabitants.
