The Hippodrome Casino has launched a wine club, offering unprecedented access to its wine cellar and little black book of winemakers, curated and hosted by sommelier and head of wine, Salvo Russo.
Launching on August 24, Wine Clubwill bring international winemakers to London, offering guests the chance to meet the producers and makers shaping the future of wine and viticulture.
Each evening will take guests on a journey of discovery, transporting them to the vineyards of Argentina and California as well as receiving discounts allowing them to buy bottles directly from the guest winemakers.
The series kicks off with an Argentinian wine masterclass, hosted by Salvo and Pedro San Martin of Bodega Catena Zapata.
Founded in 1902, the family-run producer is renowned for its role in resurrecting Malbec and discovering new and extreme, high-altitude terroirs in the Andean foothills on Mendoza. At almost 5,000 feet of elevation, the family’s Adrianna Vineyard is widely recognised as the one of the continent’s finest terroirs.
The ticketed event takes place in the Boozy Tea Room cocktail lounge, where guests will sample a range of vintages from the guest producer alongside a regionally inspired menu specifically designed by executive chef, Ioannis Grammenos to match the wines.
Tickets are £80 and extremely limited – early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. Purchase here: https://www.opentable.co.uk/r/heliot-steak-house-london .
