Join Wine and Spirits Education Specialist Barbara Drew for this special tasting focusing on women in the wine industry. We’ll start by looking at the history of female influence in wine, beginning in Champagne with the contribution of the Grandes Dames in the 1800s. Moving on to the twentieth century, we’ll consider how the two World Wars changed the face of viticulture and vinification, before looking at the influence of female winemakers today. We’ll taste a broad spectrum of delicious wines crafted by some of the most talented winemakers in the world today, all accompanied by a selection of artisan cheeses and our Head Chef’s specially-designed canapés.

A complex wine country with more than 900 indigenous grape varieties, Italy can be baffling even to the well-versed, and downright daunting to the uninitiated. This evening, however, is designed to desmystify the region and leave you feeling confident to walk out the door and tackle your next Italian wine list with confidence and gusto. We have selected a range of wines that combines the classic regions with some slightly more left-field choices. The tasting will cover many of the key regions and demonstrate the huge variety of wine styles and grape varieties that this great country produces. And, since we know that gastronomic culture in the land of Oenotria dictates that the best wines are made to be married with food, there will be a selection of matched cheeses and our Head Chef's two Italian-themed miniature dishes for you to enjoy as well.

Join us for an evening spent exploring the relationship between taste and sound. It is widely thought that the way we experience the taste and flavour of wine can be influenced by music. Professor Barry C Smith, Director at the Institute of Philosophy’s Centre for the Study of the Senses will lead an exploration of several different wines. These will be accompanied by a variety of sounds played through state-of-the-art audio equipment (provided by Bowers & Wilkins) to see if it has any effect on how we taste and the way we perceive the taste and flavour of the wine.

The Loire Valley is remarkable not only for its beauty but for the diversity of its climate, and consequently of the style of its wines. About 500km from east to west, the region is the source of fine whites from Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, and of some seriously underrated reds from Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Join Catherine Owen for a visit to this exciting region through profiles of its dynamic winemakers, and a selection of its most characteristic wines both white and red, dry and sweet.

Begin to get to grips with Bordeaux as we guide 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.

Although a much smaller region, Barolo is often compared to Burgundy for both the quality of its wines and the complexity of its terroir. As in Burgundy, wines are made from a single noble variety, and the best take years of ageing to reach maturity. Somewhat less well-known, but no less exciting, is Barolo’s neighbour to the east: Barbaresco. Here, wines made from the same grape, Nebbiolo, are said to be easier to enjoy in their youth than the famously age-worthy wines of Barolo. After a delicious apéritif, we will sample eight wines from both regions to see whether we can detect the differences.

The first flight will showcase the different grape varieties used in Champagne alongside a lobster salad and some delicious London-cure smoked salmon terrine prepared by our Head Chef.

As you learn how Champagne is made, coronation chicken and a scrumptious home-made sausage roll will be served.
