Description
Forget thimble-sized pours and hurried sips. This is Pinot Noir as it should be experienced: generous servings in premium glassware, a relaxed pace and the time to truly savour the nuance of the grape. An evening to unwind, connect and rediscover just how captivating Pinot Noir can be. While your evening begins with introductions to guests over a glass of Maison Champagne Poirot, it will continue through an international immersion in Pinot Noir from France’s Mellot Destinea and Louis Jadot, to Chile’s Errauriz, New Zealand’s Esk Valley and Australia’s Cherubino vineyards. All this while connecting over shared interests with other guests from London and abroad.

Fundamentally, this evening is about fostering connection - like grape varietals - across origins, backgrounds and experiences. You’ll explore five remarkable expressions of this much-loved grape, accompanied by elegant canapés throughout the night. Each wine has been carefully selected in collaboration with our partner winemakers — not only to showcase the diversity and character of Pinot Noir across the world but to introduce you to bottles you’ll want to return to again and again. This is not your typical wine tasting. At Encountr, we design evenings to be immersive, indulgent and genuinely memorable—where exceptional wines, beautiful food and great company come together effortlessly.
