Join wine expert Christophe Papis at the City of London’s finest wine shop for a tutored wine tasting featuring an outstanding selection from Symington winery served with cheese and charcuterie. There is a natural affinity between wine and family. Long-term vision and commitment through many generations are essential for the success of a family wine company. A newly planted vineyard takes time to produce great wines and often requires a lifetime’s work to yield best results. The Symington family, with Scottish, English and Portuguese ancestry has been present in the Douro for five generations — since 1882 — and through the current generation’s great grandmother, the family’s links to the wines of the Douro span 14 generations, to the mid-17th century and to the very beginnings of the history of Port. Over 21s only. Valid ID may be required. Event starts: 6pm.
