Taste your way through a curated selection of Australia's finest wines with Master of Wine Emma Symington.

Event details

Join Emma Symington MW for a very special evening tasting some of Australia’s most celebrated wines.

From a Chardonnay that Oz Clarke memorably described as ‘Australia’s Montrachet’ to cult favourite Clonakilla’s Shiraz Viognier, you’ll be tasting some of the finest wines in the world.

And of course, this tasting would not be complete without an opportunity to taste Australia’s most iconic wine - Penfolds Grange - from the highly regarded 1996 vintage.

This is certain to be a night to remember but spaces are limited, so book now for the chance to taste the incredible wines below.

Guests will enjoy the wines alongside a selection of cheese and charcuterie from Borough Market.
