Members have expressed an interest in seeing more events with a focus on pursuits other than wine, but that also showcase craftsmanship and culture. We are delighted, then, to announce another in the series, via a London craftsman who makes an art of terroir.

Join us on Wednesday 9th April for a fascinating masterclass with Peter Bellerby, founder of Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, the world’s only truly bespoke maker of globes.

Peter’s journey began when he set out to find the perfect globe for his father’s 80th birthday. Unable to find anything suitable, he decided to create one himself – an endeavour that led him to rediscover and master this intricate, time-honoured craft. Today, his London-based team of artisans produces exquisite terrestrial, celestial and planetary globes for collectors around the world, while Peter recently published his first book, The Globemakers, with Bloomsbury.

Join us for an evening of insight into the art of globemaking, followed by a lively Q&A in a rare opportunity to hear from a master of his craft. And, of course, a selection of fine wines from all across the, well… globe.

The wines we will be pouring:
2021 Weingut Familie, Pitnauer Classic Gruner Veltliner, Carnuntum, Austria
2022 Chardonnay, The Peacock Vineyard, Sawyer, Adelaide Hills, Australia
2021 Alpha Estate, Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro, Amyndeo, Greece
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Keermont, Stellenbosch, South Africa
