Pinot Noir Unlocked - A Wine Evening in Marylebone

A tasting evening in Marylebone built around five Pinot Noirs from France, Chile, New Zealand and Australia, served with Champagne on arrival and fine cheese and cured meats.

The outing is a seated wine tasting centred on Pinot Noir, the grape being compared across four countries. Guests begin with Champagne on arrival, then move through five wines, each poured at 125ml, so every place is served several glasses over the session. The programme is paced slowly enough to taste and compare the wines, with fine cheese and meats offered alongside them.

The session takes place at Vinoly, in Aybrook Street, in the Marylebone area of central London. The published running time is three and a half hours, and entry is restricted to guests aged 18 and over with valid ID. The venue is not wheelchair accessible, which is worth knowing before booking.

No prior knowledge of wine is required, so the outing suits couples, friends or anyone curious about how one grape varies from region to region. It is an evening for those who want to taste and talk rather than simply dine.
