A day trip to Domaine Evremond hosted by co-owner Patrick McGrath MW – Saturday 12th September

Throughout the year, our Member trips have taken us around the globe to some of the wine world’s top estates, offering private visits and tastings with the people behind the bottles. This September our journey takes us a little closer to home…

Following the sell-out success of our recent Taittinger Comtes de Champagne masterclass, we are delighted to invite Members to discover Domaine Evremond – Taittinger’s ambitious English sparkling wine estate in the chalk-rich countryside of Kent.

Just over an hour from London, lies Domaine Evremond – a project that has attracted considerable attention since its inception a decade ago. It was established by Champagne Taittinger on in the belief that Kent’s chalk terroir can produce remarkable wines while expressing a distinctly English identity.

We’re delighted to invite Members to experience the estate through an exclusive private visit. We will be welcomed by Patrick McGrath MW, chairman of Taittinger’s UK partner Hatch Mansfield and co-founder of the estate, who will introduce its story and the vision behind this landmark project.

The afternoon begins among the vines with a guided tasting of Domaine Evremond’s Edition I and Edition II, accompanied by freshly shucked oysters, before descending 25 metres beneath the estate to explore its remarkable cellars. Closed to the public, the UK’s largest subterranean winery – currently home to more than 1.5 million bottles – will open exclusively for our Members.

We’ll continue the evening on the terrace overlooking the vineyard for a canapé reception accompanied by live music, before sitting down to a six-course chef’s table experience prepared on site by our Executive Chef Dan Page. Created specially for the occasion, each course has been paired with wines from the Hatch Mansfield portfolio, with Patrick McGrath MW guiding Members through the selection.

Limited to just 20 Members and accompanied by a dedicated 67 Pall Mall host, this experience offers a rare opportunity to explore one of England’s most significant new wine estates, culminating in a refined dinner that celebrates the spirit of 67 amid the vines.
