Walkaround wine tastings and events

Wine Society

The Wine Society has one of the largest number of pre-Christmas tastings with a HUGE selection of wines to suit every budget. It is the world’s oldest member-owned community of wine lovers. Since 1874 we’ve been doing business differently, putting our members before profit to ensure fairer bottle prices for both the people that enjoy them, and for those who make them.

Balfour at Bow – wine nights

London’s most inclusive wine tastings” 

Each session we focus on a different theme, from Champagne vs England to a deep-dive into Pinot Noir, or exploring the wines of Italy to looking at emerging new regions.

At each Bow Wine Night we’ll be opening six wines for you to try, hosted by our expert tasters; all you need to do is arrive with a curious palate and an open mind.
