English Wine: Beyond the Bubbles – A Tasting Evening at Audrey Green

English wine is about so much more than sparkling. Join us at Audrey Green, National Portrait Gallery, for an evening exploring the breadth, character and versatility of English wine through four exceptional still and sparkling wines.

Hosted by Charlotte Kristensen, aka London Wine Girl, this intimate tasting will take you beyond the bubbles, discovering four distinctive English wines alongside a carefully considered food pairing for each.

On the evening

Taste your way through four exceptional English wines:

• Langham Wine Estate – Corallian Classic Cuvée NV
• Cradle Valley – Pinot Gris 2024
• Whitewolfe Estates – KC2 Chardonnay 2023
• Marbury – Pinot Noir 2024

From elegant English fizz to expressive Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this is an opportunity to discover just how diverse England's wine scene has become.

Each wine will be paired with a dish from the Audrey Green kitchen, with Charlotte guiding the tasting and sharing the stories, flavours and techniques behind each bottle.
