As the festive season approaches, our diary is filling with opportunities to gather over good food and fine wine. This month brings exciting new partnerships, tastings to inspire your Christmas wine selection and an evening devoted to Gusbourne at Sam’s Waterside. Here’s where to find us.
A new chapter at The Savoy
We’re delighted to share news of a new listing at The Savoy, including in the stunning new Beaufort Bar (pictured). It’s a proud moment to see Gusbourne take its place at this celebrated London hotel, and a very good reason to plan a visit as the capital begins to dress for Christmas. We look forward to sharing more about the partnership soon.
Art, hospitality and a warm welcome
We’re also proud to be working with Artfarm and The Groucho Club, with new listings bringing Gusbourne to more tables.
At The Groucho Club, the private members’ club in Soho, art and conversation have long been part of its character. We’re delighted that our wines will now be part of the welcome for members and their guests.
A little window shopping in Covent Garden
If you’re heading into Covent Garden, look out for Gusbourne in the window at Bedford Street Wines. Our festive display brings a little sparkle to Bedford Street, with inspiration for the celebrations ahead.
At number 33, this independent wine shop and bar is a lovely place to pause between shopping and supper, or to seek advice on a bottle to take home.
LAPADA art fair, Berkeley Square
27 October-1 November | Berkeley Square, London
For those planning a visit to Mayfair, Gusbourne is the English sparkling wine partner of the LAPADA Berkeley Square Fair.
The fair brings together specialist dealers in art, antiques, jewellery and design in Berkeley Square. Take time to explore, then join us at the bar, where a broad selection of our sparkling and still wines will be available, including Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, Rosé, Brut Reserve, Fifty One Degrees North, Guinevere Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
An evening with Sam Harrison and Steve Kirkham
Tuesday 10 November | Sam’s Waterside, Brentford | £125 per person
Oysters, English sparkling wine and an evening around the table: join Sam Harrison and Gusbourne ambassador Steve Kirkham for a special dinner at Sam’s Waterside.
The evening begins with Carlingford oysters and a glass of Gusbourne, followed by a four-course tasting menu created for the occasion. Each course will be paired with one of our wines, with Steve introducing the bottles and sharing stories from the estate.
Whether you already have a favourite Gusbourne wine or are keen to explore further, this promises to be a delicious way to get to know the range. Arrive at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
Taste with us at Hedonism Wines
Saturday 14 November | Mayfair, London | £85 per person
Hedonism’s English Sparkling Showcase returns this November, and we’re delighted to be among the producers pouring.
Held at the Davies Street wine shop, the tasting brings together around 35 wines from 13 producers, with winery representatives on hand to introduce their wines and answer questions. It’s an opportunity to explore the breadth of English sparkling wine and find a few favourites for the festive table.
Choose between two sessions, 12.30-3.30pm or 4-7pm. Each ticket includes a £25 voucher to spend on the day on wines from the featured English sparkling producers.
