Walkaround tasting of Swiss wines – Monday 18th November
For one night only, we are bringing the Alps to the St. James’s Room in a wide-ranging, walkaround tasting of Swiss wines. This is a rare opportunity to sample over 80 wines from more than a dozen boutique producers and some of the foremost UK importers of Swiss wine. Several of the winemakers will be there to present their wines in person, and to provide further insights into the country’s wine scene.
The evening is part of London’s first-ever Swiss Wine Week, organised by Swiss Wine Ambassador and Club Member Simon Hardy DipWSET. A range of delicious native cheeses will be served to accompany the wines and to ensure that Members get the full Swiss experience.
Wines will span local varieties Chasselas and Petite Arvine, rare ancient grapes such as Completer and Humagne Blanche, unique native varieties like Amigne and Gamaret, and more familiar classics such as Pinot Noir, Syrah and Merlot. Many of the wines on show were winners at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards.
Switzerland’s vineyards are roughly the same size as Alsace but, as the country consumes almost all the wine it produces, only a small proportion makes it to the rest of the world. We are proud to have long offered a wide selection of Swiss wines here in London, while our Alpine home in Verbier has one of the most comprehensive lists of Swiss wines to be found.
We invite Members to explore Switzerland’s signature Alpine terroir and discover the stories behind its ‘heroic viticulture’.
