Wine Tasting in City of London: Welcome to 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.
October Wine Tastings
Unmistakeingly English (Sort of)
Mondays | 6:30 pm – 8 pm | £40pp
Welcome to Unmistakably English; tiny bites, proper flavours, and a few surprises along the way. Think Fish and Chips, Mini Sunday Lunch and Eton Mess. Yes, there is a Welsh one because we had to include Welsh Rarebit (and the chance to try a Welsh wine — we know!). Classic favourites, nostalgic flavours, and tonnes to learn about pairing with our pretentious nonsense.
♦
Wine & Wings
Wednesdays | 6:30 pm – 8 pm | £40pp
Six wings, six wines, a bit of spice, and possibly not for a first date. Sweet, smoky, fiery, sticky, tangy. Each bite comes with a perfectly paired sip to either calm the heat or make it more fun. Don’t wear white, bring your napkins, and get ready to lick, dunk, chew, and laugh your way through a bit of delicious chaos.
♦
Fizz Fridays
Fridays | 6:30 pm – 8 pm | £40pp
Kick off the weekend with a pop! Join us as we celebrate all things sparkling. We’ll be pouring six standout bubbles, including some of our finest from Balfour Winery, alongside fizz from across the globe. Come for the sparkle, stay for the discoveries—this is your chance to taste, compare, and find your new favourite.
November Wine Tastings
Introduction to English Wine
Mondays | 6:30 pm – 8 pm | £35pp
Welcome to Introduction to English Wine at Bow Wine Vaults — an evening of great glasses, good chat, and a few surprises. Expect crisp stills, elegant sparklings, and bottles that prove just how exciting English wine has become. We’ll guide you through the styles, stories, and regions that make our homegrown wines so special — no vineyard tour needed, just plenty to taste, learn, and enjoy.
♦
Italy & Arancini
Wednesdays | 6:30 pm – 8 pm | £40pp
Get ready for a bite-sized Italian adventure. We’re pairing six golden, crispy arancini with six Italian wines, from zesty whites to bold reds and everything in between. Think comfort food meets classy sipping, with a little Roman holiday magic thrown in. Small bites, big flavour, molto vino.
♦
Wine & Crisps
Fridays | 6:30 pm – 8 pm | £30pp
Ever wondered what wine pairs best with a Bacon Frazzle? No? Well, now you’re curious, aren’t you? This is your chance to explore the fine and fun art of matching nostalgic snack foods with genuinely good wine. This tasting is all about crunchy childhood favourites getting a surprisingly grown-up glow-up. You’ll sip six wines, crunch through six beloved crisps, and leave with a newfound respect for sour cream & chive Pringles. It’s playful, a bit ridiculous, and surprisingly educational.
