The “Autumn” Grand Tasting presents you wines from top-scoring producers and boutique wineries – first pre-release tasting in Hong Kong for many of the wines – curated by JamesSuckling.com. The tasting will feature 15 of the world’s key wine regions or countries.

All wines have scored a minimum of 90 points, with the majority scoring 95-98points, including four perfect 100-point wines.

The Tasting is organized as sit-down tastings in which any of the 200 wines on showcase can be tasted. All wines will be served on individual tables. Tasting material and information on each wine and producers will be provided at your seat.

The Grand Tasting is complemented by a series of 17 exclusive sit-down masterclasses, running from Sep 6 until Sep 25 at James Suckling Wine Central in Soho.
