We invite you to join us for a session of discovery inspired by the great age of exploration—a time of curiosity, craftsmanship, and venturing into the unknown.
Step into our Grand Wine Expedition and journey through over 50 newly discovered wines for 2026. Each has been sourced from far-flung vineyards and hidden corners of the world, chosen not only for its quality, but for its story—of place, of people, and of adventure.
From windswept coastlines to high, cloud-touched vineyards, every glass offers a new destination. Every pour, a chapter in the journey.
Your expedition includes:
– 50+ wines to discover, each a new arrival for 2026
– A walk-around tasting, allowing you to chart your own course
– Curious and characterful wines from across the globe
– A relaxed yet refined setting, guided by a spirit of exploration

Grab a glass on arrival and wander at your own pace. Follow intrigue over familiarity. Pause where something remarkable reveals itself.
Who knows what you might uncover—a hidden gem, a future favourite, or simply the pleasure of discovery itself?
