Come and taste a range of fine Lebanese wines produced at the infamous Chateau Musar!

The Hochar family’s philosophy of respect for the environment means that the 180 hectares of Musar vineyards are managed with minimal human interference and all the wines are made naturally.

Chateau Musar was the first producer in Lebanon to achieve organic certification for its vineyards in 2006. Most are located in the Bekaa Valley, cradled between two mountain ranges running parallel to Lebanon’s Mediterranean coastline. Vines have been cultivated here for at least 6,000 years: the Phoenicians (seafaring ancestors of the modern Lebanese) were instrumental in bringing vines and wines from Byblos across to all of the areas around the Mediterranean.

Flanked by snow-covered mountains, and nestled at 1000m (3,000 feet) above sea level, the serenely beautiful Bekaa Valley is blessed with 300 days of sunshine a year, fresh mountain breezes and an average temperature of 25°C (encompassing snowy winters and hot summers). Remote and unspoilt, the Musar vineyards were ‘organic’ by default before the term was coined.

All the grapes are hand-harvested by local Bedouins between August and October.

An evening of fine food and paired Tuscan wines.

Please contact [email protected] to book tickets.

claire + mike allan

Claire and Mike arrived in Marlborough in 1990 and officially started Huia Vineyards in 1996.

Those early years were spent gaining valuable experience in wineries in Marlborough. Mike at Cloudy Bay and Vavasour whilst Claire was at Corbans and Lawson’s Dry Hills. They also both worked and made wine in Champagne at Veuve Cliquot and Taittinger respectively.

This diverse, hands-on experience gave them a great grounding in making bright New World wines, but also integrated an appreciation of the sense of land, heritage and tradition from the Old World. When they purchased the wonderful Home block in Rapaura, it took several years to get it cleared, build the house and get the first vines planted. At the same time two gorgeous daughters arrived - Tui and Sophie - and they have played a full part in the continuing journey of Huia Vineyards…

Take festivities to the next level and join Yolly & Lucy for a fun-filled Sunday of our favourite fizz, Hoxton Bakehouse pastries and local smoked trout!

Richard and Andy will be highlighting the excitement that’s coming out of Spain from winegrowers who are producing some extraordinary calibre wines using the indigenous grape varieties in a form that you may not have tried before. This tasting at our Kings Worthy Warehouse is a great opportunity to try something new. It’s not all about Rioja!
