Next month London will host the largest dedicated biodynamic wine tasting in the UK.

The event, arranged by Biodyvin (or The Sydicat International des Vignerons en Culture Bio-dynamique, if you prefer), will feature over 40 producers from all over France, held on 10 November at the Royal Horticultural Halls from 10am-5pm.

Biodyvin president, Olivier Humbrecht (pictured), described the intentions behind the press and trade tasting, saying: 'We want to promote the concept of biodynamic farming to the UK sommeliers so they can pass it on to their customers.'

He added: 'We want to show that the wines are interesting and good and demonstrate that the people behind them aren't crazy - they aren't lunatics who dance naked under the full moon. They simply care about their soils, wines and customers.

Humbrecht will be hosting a masterclass on the day, 3-4:30pm, on the subject of 'Minerality in Biodynamic Wines'.
