Butchers Wine Club First Event

On Friday 30 October we the Butchers Wine Club will become a 'real thing'. We are delighted to announce that the first event will be a dinner and wine tasting lead by a Master of Wine.

The venue is the iconic Townhouse at Berry Bros & Rudd. Berry Bros. & Rudd is steeped in more than three centuries of history. Founded in 1698 by a woman known as the Widow Bourne, the business began as a grocer at No. 3 St James’s Street, opposite St James’s Palace, selling fashionable luxuries including tea, coffee and spices. Over the generations it evolved into Britain’s oldest wine and spirits merchant, with the Berry family becoming associated with the business in the early 19th century and Hugh Rudd joining in 1920. Remarkably, the company remains family-owned and continues to trade from its historic St James’s home. Tucked behind No. 3 is Pickering Place, a tiny and wonderfully atmospheric London square dating from the 18th century, around which Berry Bros. & Rudd’s historic entertaining rooms are found including the Townhouse which will host our event. With centuries-old cellars beneath, period rooms above and an extraordinary connection to the history of St James’s, it is difficult to imagine a more appropriate setting for an evening devoted to good food, fine wine and convivial company.

The menu and wine list will be available nearer the event but it will be a spectacular occasion for anyone of our members.
