Join us at Hambledon Wine Estate for our new hosted wine-led dinners. Each evening follows a wine theme, whether a grape variety, a country or a region, with a three-course menu designed to match the wines in your glass.
Relaxed and convivial, these dinners are a chance to try wines you might not usually choose, and to chat with like-minded guests about the food, the wines and what’s happening at Hambledon Wine Estate and across the wider UK wine scene. Come as a couple, with friends or on your own; you’ll be very welcome. No wine knowledge is required, just a curious mind and palate!

19:45 | Take your seat at the communal table for an introduction to the evening’s wines, followed by a three-course meal designed to match them. Each course is paired with a different wine (or two, depending on the wines chosen).
Your ticket includes:
Every wine in our Cellar Door range comes from a family-owned winery with an emphasis on sustainable production. For this first dinner, we’re pouring wines from three of them.
Lyrarakis | Crete, Greece
Lyrarakis has led the revival of native Cretan grape varieties that might otherwise have been lost for good. The family continues to search the island for forgotten varieties and distinctive terroirs, producing wines with real character.
Diego e Damiano Barale | Piemonte, Italy
Organic farming practices run across the Barale vineyards, with minimal chemical intervention. Traditional, sustainable techniques are used estate-wide to protect soil health and preserve the flavours and aromas that define their terroir.
Christophe Mittnacht, Terres d’Étoiles | Alsace, France
Christophe makes biodynamic wines from some of Alsace’s finest terroirs. The range includes the aromatic, floral and spicy Cuvée Gyotaku and a superb Riesling with classic citrus and mineral notes, a perfect partner for food.
You might be surprised by how much great wine comes from South America. Argentina and Chile lead the way, with Uruguay not far behind. Expect everything from floral, perfumed whites and big, bold Malbecs to crisp, fresh Chilean whites and fruity, smooth Tannat. For this dinner, we’re pouring from three family-run wineries.
Casa Marin | Lo Abarca, Chile
Casa Marin was founded by María Luz Marín, Chile’s first female winemaker. In 2000, she challenged the norms of Chilean viticulture by committing to high-end white wines, a revolutionary idea at the time. Today the estate is run by her sons, Nicolas and Felipe, together with Felipe’s wife, Jamie.
Durigutti Family Winemakers | Mendoza, Argentina
Brothers Hector and Pablo established Durigutti Family Winemakers to explore and champion the very best of Mendoza’s terroirs. Malbec vines planted in 1900, organic viticulture, and the use of concrete vats and terracotta amphorae all contribute to wines of complexity and freshness, with the ability to age.
Pisano Family Vineyards and Winery | Progreso, Uruguay
The three Pisano brothers, Daniel, Gustavo and Eduardo, are the fourth generation of their family to make wine in Progreso, Canelones. Tannat, the signature red grape of Uruguay, produces wines with softer tannins and more fruit-forward character than its French counterparts.
