Welcome to our website
If you are mildly obsessive about your wine, enjoy drinking it, and learning about new varieties from around the world, and how they are made, then you will enjoy our Club, its monthly tastings, events, and all it has to offer.
Importantly, our programme of monthly tastings and presentations are led by wine trade professionals and WSET qualified wine educators. The common bond is their love of all things wine, an impressive knowledge of wine and wine making – and an ability to inform, entertain and amuse!
However, The Club is not all about serious learning. There is most definitely a social side – meetings are friendly, inclusive and informal. New friendships are made and old established ones maintained.
Added to all this is the ambience of Bookham’s Grade II listed Old Barn Hall where we meet. It maybe over 100 years old but it has been superbly maintained and modernised, providing first class facilities, including a full screen and projection set-up, and a modern kitchen with a wine cooler – perfect for our needs!
