Join us for an indulgent afternoon tea tasting nine Champagnes in three flights. The first flight will showcase the different grape varieties used in Champagne alongside delicate sandwiches of cucumber and smoked salmon as well as a lobster salad. The second flight will showcase some well-known producers, comparing and contrasting House styles. As you learn how Champagne is made, two plump scones (one fruit and one plain) will be served with home-made raspberry jam and, of course, clotted cream. Finally we will discuss the concept of vintage Champagne and enjoy two followed by a sweet Champagne with an elegant selection of three cakes. Should you happen to tire of Champagne, an assortment of artisan leaf teas will also be available for you to try. Hosted by Rebecca Lamont, Head of Wine School

That the First Growths occupy an exclusive position at the very top of the Bordeaux wine pyramid is not in doubt; what is less well known is that their second labels are often of senior Classed-Growth quality in their own right. Over the course of the evening your Claret-loving tutor, Demetri Walters MW, will recount the history of the region, how the Classification was established, the varying fortunes of each château represented, as well as how and why the second wines came into being. Compare and contrast these wonderful wines and see how they work with a selection of delicious canapés. Hosted by Demetri Walters MW, Wine Educator and Presenter

Most of the wines tonight will come from the 2013 vintage, allowing you to concentrate on the impact of a vineyard’s location and quality. After a glass of a beautiful Crémant de Bourgogne, we will delve into a trio from Chablis with different quality levels (village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru) giving us the perfect opportunity to cover their importance in this region. We will then move on to a famous quartet of whites from Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Pouilly-Fuissé. From there we will taste the famous Burgundian reds including a Nuits-St Georges, Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin.

Although it is notoriously difficult to grow successfully, Pinot Noir had been widely planted outside its native Burgundy. Some of these other regions have even adopted Pinot Noir as their signature variety. Are wines made from this highly desirable grape more similar than they are different, or are we inclined to agree with the winemaker who said that what he loves about Pinot Noir is the way it expresses so completely the terroir in which it is produced? Join us to taste a range of Pinot Noirs from top producers around the world and decide for yourself. Hosted by Catherine Owen, Fine Wine Specialist

Get to grips with Bordeaux as Rebecca guides you through the region, talking about its sub-regions, history and most significant wines. After a sparkling apéritif, you will try one of the region’s lesser known styles and some entry-level Clarets, moving on to taste a flight of wines from famous names. Each glass will represent a famous commune in Bordeaux, helping you to pin down the characteristics that typify each area. Comparing and contrasting the flavours and aromas in front of you, armed with new knowledge, you will be sure to leave with a firmer grasp of the lie of Bordeaux’s land.

Tasting through 10 wines from around the world, you will learn to identify acidity, tannin, alcohol level and the age of a wine. You will leave a more self-assured taster, equipped to discover which wines you do and don’t like, and – even more importantly – why. Hosted by George Lacey, Fine Wine Specialist

Treat yourself, your family or a client to one of our exclusive tutored or walkaround wine tastings. At our Tutored Tastings one of our experts will guide you through a range of wines while educating you on the evening’s topic. From blind tastings to producer focusses, these are unmissable chances to broaden your wine knowledge.
At our walkaround tastings, a selection of fascinating wines will be set out for you to explore, with an expert on hand to elucidate on the evening’s theme.
Our historic cellars were converted in 1999 to create London's most exclusive fine wine & dining venues, our three cellars: Napoleon, Sussex and Pickering. Located beneath our shop in the heart of central London, prior to their renovation these were the largest working cellars in the capital.
The Napoleon Cellar is named after Napoleon III, who plotted his return to France here whilst in exile in England between 1838 and 1848.
The Pickering Cellar is hidden beneath Pickering Place, London's smallest public square and once a notorious venue for cockfighting and bear-baiting. Both of these impressive cellars provide the perfect venue for your tutored wine tastings.
Sussex cellar is our newest event space with terracotta archways and intimate yet contemporary feel. It is named after the Duke of Sussex, one of the seven royal Dukes who was a regular customer of company’s in the 19th century. Design influences hail from Spanish wine cellars or Bodegas, and use handmade London tiles to create archways and columns that extend through both the mezzanine and the sub-basement level of the cellars.
