Wines of the Languedoc, Napoleon Cellar Dinner, 3rd June 2016
Napoleon Cellar Dinners
Join us at one of our popular Napoleon Cellar Dinners for a memorable evening of fine wine, fine cuisine and fine company. Tucked away beneath our shop in the heart of central London, the cellars were once the largest working cellars in the capital. In 1999 they were converted to create London's most exclusive fine dining venue.
The impressive vaulted Napoleon Cellar (view virtual tour here) was so named after Napoleon III, who plotted his return to France here whilst in exile in England between 1838 and 1848.
Arrive at 6.30pm to a welcoming Champagne aperitif in our historic shop, before descending to the imposing Napoleon Cellar for a sumptuous four-course dinner and a myriad of fabulous wines. Throughout the evening your host and the wine estate’s representative will talk to you about the wines, sharing their knowledge and views, and helping you decide which you like best and why.
4 tickets maximum per customer (subject to availability)

Description
Join the charming and knowledgeable Adam Holden, our specialist in the wines of Southern France, in the atmospheric environs of the Napoleon Cellar as he transports you to the beautiful wine region of the Languedoc via some of its classiest wines. You will be welcomed in our historic shop with a glass of sparkling traditional method Crémant de Limoux, the south’s answer to Champagne, before descending to the cellar for a Southern-French-themed four-course dinner accompanied by a sensational range of whites and reds from the region. Along the way Adam will enlighten you as to the grape varieties, winemakers and styles so that you leave not only with fine gastronomic memories, but with more knowledge than when you arrived. If you are a French wine-lover keen to explore this underrated region in more detail – while enjoying some excellent wine, company and food – tonight is perfect for you.
