Join sommelier Antony Anderson and increase your wine knowledge in a jovial environment as he opens his private cellar once a month and shares rare and old back-vintage wines and his insights in a never-to-be-repeated experience.

Each of these special nights features seven different wines. After the tasting, wines are sold by the glass on a first-come, first-wined basis. A wide range of food is also available to purchase from the extensive dining menu.
