Wine Tasting
Join us for an evening of entertainment, education and enlightenment at one of our monthly wine tasting events. It could be a masterclass on Pinot Noir, a celebration of Tuscany wines, testing your tasting skills with Natalija’s Casino Royal or meeting the wine makers themselves. Each event will be advertised in store/lounge and via the website and social media accounts. Be quick as they tend to sell out quickly!

J. Lohr Californian Fine Wine Tasting 11/06/26
Join us at Grand Cru Lounge Bar for an exclusive evening exploring the wines of Monterey, California with one of the region’s most respected producers, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines.
This special tasting will focus on the remarkable vineyards of Monterey, a region shaped by cool Pacific winds, bright Californian sunshine, and one of the longest growing seasons in the world.
Across the evening, six wines will be poured showcasing the diversity of Monterey, including Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.
🗓 Thursday 11th June 2026
⏰ 19:30 – 21:30
🎟 £50 per person
📍 Grand Cru Lounge Bar, 9 Kelsey Park Road, Beckenham BR3 6LH
🎥 Live Interactive Vineyard Tour with California
In a new tasting format for Grand Cru, the evening will include a live and interactive virtual vineyard experience direct from Monterey.
Kristen Barnhisel, Head Winemaker for Monterey at J. Lohr, will guide guests through the vineyards live via video link from California, offering a unique behind-the-scenes look at the region while answering questions directly from the room.
This is a rare opportunity to experience Monterey through the eyes of the winemaker herself, without the inconvenience of a 5000-mile flight.
