An Introduction to Collecting Fine Wine with Berry Bros. & Rudd
Date: 10th April 2025
Time: 18:30 – 21:30 pm
Venue: Napoleon Cellar, 3 St James’s Street, London, SW1A 1EG
If you are curious about starting a wine cellar but unsure of where to begin, this event will serve as the perfect introduction.
After a glass of Champagne in our historic Old Shop, you will head down to our Napoleon Cellar for a walk-around tasting. There you will have an opportunity to taste through a range of wines from different regions and in different styles, whilst also understanding when each is released throughout the year.
This will also be a great way for you to learn more about your own tastes and preferences, so you can build your perfect cellar.
We will also have a selection of mature fine wines sourced from BBX, our fine wine exchange. Our expert team will be explaining how to make the most of this treasure trove of wine to rapidly backfill your cellar with wine to drink now.
Alongside the walkaround tasting, there will be a masterclass exploring how wines age. You will learn what sets apart a wine designed for ageing and, crucially, will taste first-hand how a wine’s characteristics develop over time. Hosted by Barbara Drew MW, this will be a chance to dive into wine maturity and consider how and when you would like to drink the wines in your cellar. The masterclass will be run twice throughout the evening, so there will be a chance to join either before the walkaround tasting, or once you have tasted through many of the wines on show.
This is an evening for both younger and older collectors alike, designed to enrich your knowledge and fully immerse you in the world of Berry Bros. & Rudd.
