Oh yes, this month our wine tasting events in London will transport you to this underrated region of France, where you’ll be swept off your feet and fall in love with the delicious grapes that can be plucked from its vines!
Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just beginning to explore the world of wine, our monthly events are guaranteed to delight your senses and leave you craving more. We like to be humble in our approach to wine, after all, and that means the door is open to everyone. So gather your friends and family for some evenings of great tasting wine, immaculate vibes, and insider tips from the experts themselves!
And the fun doesn’t stop there – we’ve also curated a special wine flight featuring the finest selections from South West France. They’re available at all of our wine bars across London in March, so if you’re unable to make our events then you can still drop by and get a taste of Français wine at a time that suits you!
Of course, to truly immerse yourself in the essence of the region, we recommend attending our fun and fabulous events: World of Wine and Meet the Winemaker Supper Club, so let us spill the grapes on what you can expect…

Meet the Winemaker: Germain Croisille
Taking place across two evenings: on the 26th March in our Battersea wine bar, and in Islington on the 27th March, we’re saying Bonjour! to the wonderful Germain Croisille from Château Les Croisille for our next Meet the Winemaker Supper Club. Travelling all the way from France, Germain will be your guide for the evening, giving you all the inside knowledge from his experience of winemaking in the South West France region.
The story of Château Les Croisille begins in the picturesque terroir in Fages, located in South West France. In 1979 Germain’s parents became tenant farmers of a parcel of untouched land and only with grit, love, and determination, did they transform it into the wine haven it is today.
Germain joined the family business in 2008 and since then has gone from strength to strength in the business. Throughout the three-hour session with him, you’ll be able to swirl, sniff, and sip each drop of his family wine as he unveils the hidden stories and secret techniques behind each bottle.
But that’s not all! As with all our Supper Clubs, the wines are paired perfectly with six dishes from our talented Executive Chef so that you can have a truly mouthwatering experience from the intimate setting of our cosy London wine bars.
Get your hands on the tickets now for Battersea and Islington.
