2026 TASTINGS
FRIDAY 6th FEBRUARY 2026
SOUTH AFRICA - WITH EDGMOND WINES There is so much excitement and constant innovation happening each year in South Africa, that I struggle to keep up! For this event, prepare to taste vintage style champagne and port style wines, gems from new regions and even varieties you wouldn't associate with the Cape! 
FRIDAY 20TH MARCH 2026
AUSTRALIA - MATT & MATES The Australian wine market is one of the world's largest wine exporters (often 5th or 6th globally) with a strong reputation for quality, driven by regions like Barossa and Margaret River, although recent years have seen market shifts due to challenges like Chinese tariffs, prompting a pivot to premiumization and new markets like the UK and US. Wine is made in every state, with South Australia, Victoria, and NSW being major players, each featuring unique terroirs. For this tasting we'll sample some of the lesser known yet highly revered wines from these and other regions. 
FRIDAY 24TH APRIL 2026
CENTRAL & EASTERN EUROPE THE JOLLY MERCHANTS Central & Eastern Europe refers to countries which include Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and the three Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Countries, such as Hungary, are well known producers of great wine, such as those produced by Royal Tokaji, some of which sell for £10's of thousands. Yet there are many other very interesting countries and styles to examine, from countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, and Slovenia. In this whistle-stop tour, one of the UK's best known CEE wine experts will help us taste some of the possibly lesser known wines, from fast growing wine makers in these regions. 
FRIDAY 15th MAY 2026
NEW ZEALAND - WITH EDGMOND WINES For this tasting, prepare to experience New Zealand.... but not as you know it! While 95% of its production is Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, what about the other 5%? Here you will taste different grape varieties and also wines from one of the most revered sites in the entire New World! 
FRIDAY 26th JUNE 2026
HIDDEN GEMS EYNSHAM CELLARS Eynsham Cellars has been at the heart of the Oxfordshire community, situated in the middle of Eynsham, for over 15 years. You may have even visited their shop or been to one of their events. Oli and the team cover a wide range of over 500 wines, with new wines constantly entering their sights. For this reason we are not fixing the region, grape, style or anything else at this time. Prior to registration for the event, Oli will select a number of the best suited wines to tempt our group and we'll let you know more then. For now, this is a great date to hold in the diary.
