As a result of her deep understanding of Penfolds House Style, Steph has brought Penfolds’ Californian winemaking to new heights.

The 67 Vinolympics Championship 2024

Saturday 3rd August 2024

Fellow wine lovers, if we were to take part in an Olympic sport, it would have to be wine tasting. So, in the spirit of the Olympics 2024, dive into this blind-tasting battle in our very own sporting event. 

We’re pitting Members against each other in the ultimate olfactory steeplechase: blind tasting a series of six exceptional wines around the Olympic theme. Representing different countries and featuring vintages only from Summer Olympic years, Members gain points for each correct answer, moving through flights of sparkling, white, and red wines. Once the top five participants are determined, they will go on to try a seventh wine in the final round, where they will have to answer questions with no hints given.

At the end, a champagne reception will be held to toast the winners. 

Prizes to be won:

Gold

  • A two-night stay in Raffles Hotel Singapore’s Courtyard Suite, with daily breakfast for two as well as an avant-garde wood-fire IMUA dining for two at Butcher’s Block (worth more than $4,500), courtesy of our partners at Raffles Hotel Singapore

Silver

  • One Set of Six Zalto Universal Glasses (worth more than $500)

Bronze

  • One Coravin Bundle Set (worth more than $300)

#OneGreatBottle: Tolpuddle Pinot Noir 2018, with Richard Hemming

Saturday 24th August 2024

Inspired by our pre-opening webinars, this new wine social brings Members together over one special wine. Over the course of an hour, Head of Wine, Asia, Richard Hemming MW, will tell the wine’s story in our Living Room as Members settle back in our lounge furniture while sharing their bottle, alongside a few of our signature nibbles. It’s a rare treat to devote a full hour to a single wine – and it’s the only way to experience how great wine opens up with time.

As well as Richard’s insights, we will see some brief videos from the team behind Tolpuddle, recorded especially for us to explain the terroir and winemaking. Richard sourced a library release of the 2018 vintage (his absolute favourite) direct from the winery in Tasmania. Informally known as Australia’s most collectable Pinot, Tolpuddle’s 2018 vintage is evolving beautifully with succulent red fruit still intact, plus increasing umami complexity that comes partly from whole-bunch fermentation and partly from six years of bottle maturity. This is everything you could want from Pinot: long, resonant, characterful and sophisticated – the perfect bottle to spend some quality time with.

Tickets for #OneGreatBottle are sold in pairs, and each pair comes with one full bottle of Tolpuddle Pinot Noir 2018 and some nibbles. Additionally, each pair of tickets comes with a confirmed reservation in our restaurant. After the event finishes at 19:30, we invite you to take the remains of your bottle through to the restaurant to polish off alongside dinner (restaurant purchases will be charged as usual).

To reserve your tickets to any of our upcoming events, please log in and visit the Members Area where you will find more details about our events and how to secure your tickets.
