Master Classes
This year we will be hosting bi-weekly master classes, where we invite our producers into our stores to present some fantastic master classes for you. These are an excellent opportunity for you to meet the distiller, winemaker or owner and hear about the product straight from the source. Master classes normally last an hour to two and include a step by step guide to the brand's history, production methods and category relevant information followed by an in depth tasting of the range. The event will include food pairing and may also include some suggested signature serves of the products. Sign up to receive our newsletter at the bottom left hand corner of this page and be the first to hear about new master class dates.
The afternoon master classes are designed for those in the food and drinks industry (on-trade) and will incur no deposit. Our evening tastings are for all to enjoy, whether you are a drinks/wine enthusiast, have a passion for the industry, or simply just want a fun night with some delicious products and food. We require a £15 place-holding refundable deposit for the evening as they are very oversubscribed. We also ask that if you would like to make a voluntary donation to our charity of the moment then we would be truly greatful. Your deposit will be refunded on or after the evening.
We will be updating the site soon with details of other master classes for 2012.
To start off these master classes we are excited to have our Armagnac producer, Château de Laubade, returning to London to taste their range of Bas Armagnacs. Denis Lesgourgues, owner of Château de Laubade Bas Armagnac will be visiting to take you through the production and range of products.
The master class will include an in-depth tasting of the range including the VSOP, XO, Extra and also a vintage - allowing you to experience a wide range of the armagnacs.
