CELLAR RAID:

LIBRARY WINES & FRUITS DE MER

We're celebrating 20 years of Sugrue South Downs with a Cellar Raid!

Join Callum and Amy as they disappear into the Sugrue cellars and emerge with a line up of rare library bottles, forgotten favourites, and the occasional surprise, too... Some wines have long since sold out, some have scarcely been seen since they were released, and all deserve another moment in the spotlight. 

They'll be keeping the tasting line up under wraps until the evening, but it will include some of the earliest vintages of The Trouble With Dreams, our prestige sparkling Cuvée Dr Brendan O'Regan 2016 in magnum, the rare zero-dosage cuvée ZODO, Bonkers V1, and a sneak preview of the new Cuvée Boz Blanc de Blancs. No two Cellar Raids will be the same!

As English sparkling wine and shellfish remain one of life's perfect partners, you'll then have the chance to drink your favourite wines of the night alongside a fruits de mer platter, showcasing some of the UK's best seafood.

Friday 7th August (6-9pm)
Friday 21st August (6-9pm)
 

The evenings begin at 6pm with an aperitif in the vineyard, before a tutored tasting of 6 wines, and a fruits de mer platter served family style.

Just 18 spaces are available per evening.
