WINE MAKER FOR A DAY

For this 5 hour event, we look past flavours and aromas and pull the curtain back on how wines are really made. With a focus on sensory experimentation, tasting, and benchmarking acids, alcohol, sugars, and tannins. The aim of the morning is to build the skills to approach wine like a winemaker.

In the morning session, we will focus on understanding how wines are made generally, but also in our London Cru cellar. Bringing things into perspective with a detailed dive into how each of the classic wine styles are made right here in London.

We then take a break for lunch, with a two-course meal at The Atlas gastropub, all included. This is your chance to grill our wine experts or just relax after a morning's tasting.

Back at the winery, the afternoon focuses on building tasting skills, benchmarking key wine attributes, and understanding how blending is actually done.

Finally, you will use your newfound skills to create your own Bordeaux-inspired signature cuvée. You’ll be able to take your creation home to share with your family.

This event starts promptly, so please arrive on time at 11am. The day runs until around 4pm.

‘Winemaker for a Day’ is held at our winery on Seagrave Road – the nearest station is West Brompton and we are a short walk from Earl’s Court.

“I won't spoil the surprise, but being able to doctor one of their wines to exaggerate the different characteristics was fantastic.” Mark O

“...a brilliant day. If you have a wine lover and are stuck for a different present then we can recommend this.” Susan K
