Here at Philglas & Swiggot we are back up and running with our in store tasting events. Below is what we have planned so far, check back often as we are always adding new events at both our Battersea and Marylebone stores.
Meet the Winemaker Series:
Battersea Store, Tuesday 24th May @ 7:30 pm - £25
We continue to welcome back our favourite winemakers with our 'Meet the Winemaker Tasting Series'. We are delighted to welcome our good friend Francesca Vicentini from Vicentini Agostino to present his stunning line-up of wines for this event.
Vicentini Agostino is a family winery currently run by the 4th generation. They are located in northeast Italy's Veneto region, about 15km from Verona. The Illasi Valley is particularly important in regard to wine production, as this is where Soave and Valpolicella regions come together.
Being a Tre Bicchieri award winner in the top Italian wine guide, 'Gambero Rosso 2020', it is the highest accolade for Italian wineries. These are quite simply some of the greatest Soaves and Valpolocella we have found.
A complementary cheese and charcuterie sharing board will also be provided.
Address: Battersea Store, 21 Northcote Road, SW11 1NG
Marylebone Store, 26th May @ 7 pm - £30
We are delighted to show the wines of Ata Rangi, presented by the UK brand Ambassador Mackenzie Paton, whose family founded the winery over 40 years ago.
Join us in our Marylebone store as we taste through the delicious whites and stunning reds, including the award winning 2018 Pinot Noir.
Address: 22 New Quebec St, London W1H 7SB
Meet the Winemaker Series
Battersea store, Thursday 26th May @ 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm - £35
Join us on what promises to be an enjoyable and unforgettable evening with Pieter Walser showing his latest wines.
Seeing as Pieter makes so many eclectic wines, we thought a simple sit-down event wouldn't do it justice, so we are going to crack open over 12 of his wines for everyone to try. This is a casual standing event running from 6:30 pm onwards where Pieter will go through the wines and then be on hand to answer any questions and recant the captivating stories he is known for.
Tickets can be purchased online or in store. Limited to 30.
Check back soon for new wines in store from BlankBottle.
Battersea store, Wednesday 27th April @ 7:30 pm - £40

Meet the Winemaker Series
Battersea Store, 3st May @ 7:30pm - £45
Another exciting tasting in our 'Meet the Winemaker Tasting Series'. We are very pleased to announce that winery General Manager Jim Adleman will be traveling from America to present this special event at Philglas & Swiggot.
The legendary Au Bon Climat is not just another label; it is a passion project for winemaker/owner Jim Clendenen. These are artisan, small lots of distinctive wines where commerce is not the driving force. As a result, they are some of the most exciting wines to come out of the region.
Join us as Jim takes us on a guided tasting through the Au Bon Climat range. We will walk you through the wines, the wine making process, and the Santa Monica region, along with some history of the late winemaker Jim' Wild Boy' Clendenen. It's sure to be a great event.
