Book now for our Wine Dinner at Thai Square, Trafalgar Square with Monsoon Valley wines of Thailand. April 30th 6.30pm

Thailand..producing  wine? Yes, and it’s very good quality too.

Adam recently travelled  to Monsoon valley vineyards, explored the terroir, viticulture and wine making techniques. He tasted through their whole range and discovered  how they  achieve excellent results despite challenging conditions. For more details check our website to see  Adam’s recent publication in Decanter wine Magazine following his visit to Monsoon Valley.

We will be tasting five of their wines including their recently released Sparkling Brut Prestige 2024 which is being exclusively imported for the evening. The other wines are detailed below including the likely menu. There will be a vegetarian option. Full details will be mailed to attendees nearer the time.

Melissa Barshef and Chutiton Pryde from Monsoon valley will talk us through the history and introduce the wines. There will also be some mini quizzes and some prizes.

Please join us for this unique opportunity to taste the wines of Monsoon valley, Thailand over a four course tasting menu at Thai Square in Trafalgar Square Central London on April 30th.

Monsoon Valley was founded in 2001 by Chalerm Yoovidhya, the visionary co-founder of Red Bull. Monsoon Valley was created to establish a world-class wine culture in Thailand.

Nestled in a former elephant corral near Hua Hin, the vineyard thrives at the 13th latitude, producing “new latitude” wines enriched by mineral-heavy soil and cooling sea breezes.

With over 300 international accolades, including gold medals from the Decanter World Wine Awards, these wines are celebrated globally for their quality.

Book now for our wine dinner with Vasse Felix, Margaret River’s founding wine estate. Wednesday 26th November at Fredericks, Islington.

Famous for its elegant Bordeaux style reds and increasingly for Chardonnays that rival Burgundy, Margaret River produces only 2% of Australia’s wine but around 25% of its premium wine.

In other words the region is all about fine wine and this, in large part, is thanks to Dr Tom Cullity, an English lover of Bordeaux, who established Vasse Felix the first winery in Margaret River back in 1967.

We have an amazing line up of five of their top wines for you to try which include both of the estates flagship wines:

The 2021 Heytesbury Chardonnay, a stunning vintage and the award winning Tom Cullity Bordeaux blend. We’ll be pouring the 2016 vintage which is maturing beautifully.

We’ll also try the Premier Chardonnay and Premier Cabernet, all matched with a delicious three course dinner in Frederick’s private club room.

And to kick things off with a sparkle a glass of Idée Fixe Premier Brut.

Ryan Hancock, Vasse Felix’s man in Europe, will be on hand to tell the story of this pioneering wine estate and to present the wines.

Don’t miss what is shaping up to be a memorable evening.

Tickets are £120 on Eventbrite or £110 by emailing adam@wandercurtis.com and then paying by BACS.


Kiran, Adam & Stuart.
