London- South America growers - Walkaround tasting

27 May 2025 6:00 - 08:30 pm

There’s more to South America’s wines than the bold malbecs and cabernet sauvignon from Argentina, taut Chilean chardonnays and ripely textured tannat from Uruguay, but it’s a good place to start! This tasting will feature those and more South American gems, with our producers on hand to help you explore. 

Sale price: £40.00 per person
Tickets Available
Code: TG250527IP

Separated by the Andes (the longest continental mountain range in the world) but joined by their producing of delicious wine, Chile and Argentina share in being firm favourite regions amongst Society members. Moving east of Argentina, and up in popularity and following with members, is Uruguay. Together, the three countries have wines of quality and variety in abundance. 

Altitude is key for quality in Argentina with the higher vineyard sites producing refined wines, but that’s not to ignore the value that can also be found in the country. Old-vines, particularly for malbec, also play a significant role in the story of Argentinian wine.

For Chile, there is plenty of variance from the climatic conditions and the differences in soil, and you can find classy, cool-climate sauvignon blanc and pinot noir from the coastal regions as well as higher yields from the more fertile, productive and warm Central Valley.

Where Argentina and Chile have altitude and climate, Uruguay has weather! It gets considerably more rain, but happily the tannat grape which is the most-planted variety in Uruguay and originally brought by the Basques from south-west France, thrives in the moderate Atlantic-influenced climate. Expect freshness and character and increasing sophistication. 

Join us, our producers, and Buyer Toby Morrhall in exploring and enjoying South American wines.

The close relationships we have with our winemakers, growers and producers is something we cherish.  From walkaround tastings to focused roundtable discussions, we love to give members the opportunity to meet the people behind your favourite wines.

Do you send physical tickets or is it all e-tickets?

Absolutely not! Our events target a range of experience and knowledge levels, and we try to make this clear on our event pages. If you’re unsure if an event is for you, simply contact tastings@thewinesociety.com and we will try to help.

Do I get a discount on wines after events?

To ensure our tastings and events run smoothly and are enjoyed by all, we would ask members and guests to:

•                 Be aware of others waiting to try the wines when talking to producers and staff members

•                 Not wear perfume or aftershave as this can make it difficult for others to taste the wines

•                 Avoid crowding around the spittoons to keep them accessible to others

•                 Avoid bringing large bags into the room or wearing back packs, for the comfort of others

•                 Be mindful of your alcohol intake and make use of the spittoons and water provided.
