White Wines Unlocked - A Wine Evening in Marylebone

A tasting evening at Vinoly London in Marylebone, built around five aromatic white wines from different regions of the world, served with cheese and charcuterie boards.

The outing is a seated wine tasting with a light food accompaniment. It opens with a glass of Champagne on arrival, after which guests move through five aromatic white wines: Chenin Blanc from South Africa, Riesling from Alsace, Albariño from Spain, Pinot Gris from New Zealand and Viognier from France. Each wine is poured in 125 ml measures, so every place has several glasses to compare side by side.

Food comes in shared boards of cheese and charcuterie, passed around the table as the tasting proceeds. The programme is billed as a three-and-a-half-hour session, and it is restricted to guests aged 18 and over, who must bring valid photo identification. The venue is not wheelchair accessible.

The format suits friends or couples who want a structured introduction to white wine, and it requires no prior knowledge. Vinoly London, at Aybrook Street in Marylebone, is the venue for the session.
