Thinking about which bottles to enjoy alongside your Christmas dinner? Want to try something different this year, instead of – or as well as – the perennial favourites?

At this evening in our Pickering Cellar, you will try a range of whites and reds from France alongside a selection of perfectly ripe, fabulous classic cheeses. Your host will share a little about each of the wines and cheeses on show, and then you will decide which pairing works best. It will provide inspiration for the perfect cheeseboard, as well as giving you dos and don’ts of wine-and-cheese pairing. After an apéritif, you will taste 10 wines (both classic and more unusual styles), each served with its own cheese.

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 which 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 mini Italian-themed miniature dishes for you to enjoy as well. Hosted by Richard Veal, Head of Events and Education.

The Port Walk is now etched firmly in the calendar; the reasons for its enduring popularity are, of course, its sheer informality and the fact that one seldom has such an opportunity to taste 20 very fine Ports in one room. The wines will run the gamut stylistically and, as always, there will be some senior vintage Ports on show. The final, essential, ingredient will be the presence of Charles Symington to share a little of his expertise as head winemaker for the group that has given us Dow’s, Graham’s and Warre’s, all of which will be available to taste on the night.

At this event in our Pickering Cellar, Wine and Spirits Education Specialist Barbara Drew will take you through two of her favourite things: whisky and cheese. We’ll start with a look at how whisky is made, and over the course of the evening will taste a range of producers from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Ireland and North America.
Alongside each dram, we’ll showcase a range of different cheeses, from the British Isles and beyond. During the evening we will explore classic matches, such as Highland malts with mature Scottish cheddar, to more unusual pairings, like Bourbon and blue cheese. An ideal evening for spirits and cheese-lovers alike.

Although it is notoriously difficult to grow successfully, Pinot Noir has 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.

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. The evening’s exciting finale comes in the form of an aged Grand Cru Latricières-Chambertin.

Join Nicolas de Bailliencourt dit Courcol in our Pickering Cellar for an evening to learn all about the distinguished Pomerol property, Ch. Gazin. This famous estate was reputedly built upon the ruins of the Hôpital de Pomeyrols which was originally established by the Knights of Malta in the 12th century. It has been owned by the Bailliencourt dit Courcol, one of France's oldest families, since the beginning of the last century. Gazin is located in the eastern part of the Pomerol plateau, where the soils are rich in clay and limestone. Gazin's 26-hectare vineyard (which is large by Pomerol standards) adjoins the vineyards of L’Evangile and Pétrus. Over the course of the evening you will taste eight wines from the estate, from both more recent and mature vintages.

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. This evening we will taste wines from both regions to see whether we can detect the differences.

Get to grips with Bordeaux as Rebecca Lamont guides you through the region, its sub-regions, its history and most significant wines. After a sparkling apéritif, you will try one of Bordeaux's lesser known styles and some entry-level Clarets, moving on to taste a flight of wines from the region's most famous châteaux. 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, and armed with new knowledge, you will be sure to leave with a firmer grasp of Bordeaux.

We’re delighted to welcome Noël Pinguet to No.3 for what promises to be an unforgettable tasting of the wines of Domaine Huet. Noël, the son-in-law of legendary winemaker Gaston Huet, worked at the domaine from 1971 to 2012. There could be no better guide to the intricacies of these wines, which are easy to enjoy but decidedly complex in their genesis. Our tasting will focus on the exceptional 1989 vintage, showcasing various lieux-dits and an array of styles from sec to moëlleux (not to mention perlant). We will also taste a number of older wines, some pre-dating Noël’s time at the domaine.

Join us tonight for a chance to explore four of Bordeaux’s most famous communes. Through a fascinating line-up of examples from top châteaux you will have the chance to compare and contrast the different styles (white, red and sweet), looking at vintage variation and the wines’ ability to age. You will also get a feel for the context in which they are made as our host explores how these wines relate to the rest of Bordeaux and how they represent the region in today’s international wine market. The final wine, a mature Sauternes, will ensure that the evening ends on a sweet note.

Join Felipe Carvallo for a vertical tasting of the wines from Ch. Léoville Barton. This property is the smallest portion of the great Léoville estate and has been owned by the Barton family since 1826. There is no château and the wine is made at Langoa Barton. Léoville Barton's 48 hectares of vineyards are located in the east of the appellation and lie on gravelly-clay soils. Since Anthony Barton took over the reins from his Uncle Ronald in the mid 1980s, quality has soared at Léoville Barton and the wine has gone from being a solid mid-league performing Deuxième Cru Classé to one of the most exciting and scintillating wines in St Julien. Léoville Barton is tannic and austere in youth but with time develops the classic cedary character that is the hallmark of St Julien, along with intensely pure blackcurrant and cassis fruit notes. Over the course of the evening you will have the opportunity to trace how the wines develop over time, tasting younger and more mature vintages from this famous estate.

Gin is (still) having something of a revival, so come along to this evening to learn all about it. We’ll start with a gin and tonic to soothe away the troubles of the day, before diving in to learn about the history of gin, from its origins as Genever and Old Tom to its (re)incarnation as anything from a light, delicately flavoured and floral spirit, to a robust and spicy drink. We’ll end with a look at gin cocktails, and what makes the perfect Martini. To balance your spirits, we’ll serve homemade bar snacks as well. The perfect evening for those who prefer the grain to the grape.

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.
