THURSDAY 19TH MARCH. 7.30PM. ITALIAN WINE AND PIZZA PAIRING
It's been two years since we last teamed up with The Event Pizza Co. for an unforgettable evening of pizza and wine — so we're delighted to welcome Adam and his mobile pizza oven back to Brigitte Bordeaux.
Your £42 ticket includes a guided tasting of seven Italian wines, each carefully paired with a different slice of freshly made pizza, straight from the oven. Expect bold flavours, brilliant pairings, and an evening full of great food, great wine, and excellent company. Book early to avoid disappointment. THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT
WE HAVE ADDED AN EXTRA DATE FOR THE ABOVE TASTING: THURSDAY 30TH APRIL. 7.30PM. THIS NEW DATE HAS NOW SOLD OUT
TUESDAY 24TH MARCH. 7.30PM. BATTLE OF THE GRAPES: ITALY VS PORTUGAL
Two great wine nations. Two proud traditions. One delicious showdown.
Join us as we put indigenous grape varieties from Italy and Portugal head to head, tasting them side by side to see how they stack up. From familiar favourites to lesser-known gems, this is a chance to explore what makes each country's native grapes so distinctive — and to decide which team wins your vote.
Whether you're Team Italy, Team Portugal, or just here for the wine, this is one contest where everyone wins. Let battle commence! THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT
WEDNESDAY 15TH APRIL. 7.30PM. ‘WHERE ON EARTH?’ GLOBAL WINE TASTING AND QUIZ
We made the mistake of adding a quiz to a wine tasting a few months ago... and now we simply can't help ourselves.
Join us as we travel the globe, glass by glass, tasting wines from around the world — with each one unleashing a short quiz round inspired by its homeland. Expect questions on geography, culture, history, and the sort of general knowledge you're sure you once knew.
A night designed to quench your thirst for wine — and vaguely educational nonsense. Cheers! THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT
WEDNESDAY 22ND APRIL. 7.30PM. RIBERA DEL DUERO TASTING
Set high on the northern plateau of Spain, Ribera del Duero follows the winding Duero River through Castilla y León, with vineyards sitting at dramatic altitudes of up to 900 metres. Hot days, cold nights, and tough growing conditions shape wines of remarkable intensity, freshness, and structure.
Although winemaking here stretches back centuries, Ribera del Duero is a relatively young appellation, gaining DO status in 1982. Since then, it has become synonymous with world-class Tempranillo (locally known as Tinto Fino), producing wines that balance ripe fruit with savoury depth and serious ageing potential.
This tasting will explore the region's history, landscape, and evolving styles — from powerful, oak-driven classics to fresher, more modern interpretations. If you're a fan of top quality Spanish reds, this is the tasting for you! THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT
TUESDAY 28TH APRIL. 7.30PM. BALKANS AND BEYOND TASTING
Join us for Balkans and Beyond, a tasting dedicated to some of Europe's most exciting — and most overlooked — wine regions. We'll be pouring wines from across the Balkans and neighbouring countries, showcasing indigenous grape varieties, long winemaking traditions, and styles you won't find on the supermarket shelf.
From old vines and historic landscapes to fresh flavours and new favourites; if you're keen to drink something different, book your place today. THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT
SUNDAY 3RD MAY. 2PM. SPRINGTIME SPARKLERS TASTING
Join us on Bank Holiday Sunday for a relaxed afternoon celebrating all things sparkling.
Our Springtime Sparklers tasting will showcase a wide range of styles from across the sparkling wine world — from crisp and refreshing to richer, more complex expressions. Expect a mix of familiar favourites and a few lesser-known gems, giving you the chance to explore just how diverse sparkling wine can be.
Our sparkling themes are usually quite popular and this one's on a bank holiday weekend so book early to avoid disappointment. Due to the higher price of some of the wines being shown, tickets are £39pp.
WEDNESDAY 6TH MAY. 7.30PM. ‘GRAPE HITS & TRIVIA SIPS’ WINE AND MUSIC PAIRING & QUIZ
Since hosting this tasting — our first to incorporate a quiz — back in November, we've come across even more wines that fit the theme perfectly. That's all the excuse we need to do it all over again.
So, gather your team of wine lovers, music buffs and quiz enthusiasts and get ready for a brilliant night — book your place today!
