The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium is back in 2025! We have an exciting programme of masterclasses, dinners, and our paulée-style gala dinner ready for you. It’s all about deepening our pleasure in and our appreciation for Burgundy, with plenty of fun along the way.
You’ll find all the details below, and tickets are on sale now!
We are flying in leading Burgundy critic and writer Allen Meadows (and 'Mrs. Burghound' too!), as well as a range of great Burgundy producers, in person. There is much to learn about the complex yet rewarding fine wine region of Burgundy. Allen’s expertise, his complete fluency in the subject, and his ability to teach, to lead, and to moderate discussion offer much to both the novice and the experienced aficionado.
And, at the producer-led events, meet the producers, and learn from their first hand experience and their wines. This year we are delighted to welcome Antoine Amiot from Domaine Amiot-Servelle, Bertrand Dugat from Domaine Claude Dugat, Christian Clerget from Domaine Christian Clerget & Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne.
The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium has been running annually since 2015 (with an intermission for the pandemic), and this year we begin with a solid, wide-ranging programme in Hong Kong. We are delighted to finish by returning to Bangkok, where we had such a great time last year. In between – something new for us – Tokyo! We look forward to seeing you at any or all three cities this year.
Tickets are of course limited at all events, and at certain dinners, very limited. We recommend you book as early as possible to avoid disappointment - events@finewineexperience.com or call +852 2803 0753.

2016 Vosne-Romanée – The Complete 1er Crus Dinner
Upper House Shanghai,14F Penthouse Meeting Room, No.366, Shi Men Yi Road, Jing ‘an District, Shanghai
This evening’s dinner with Allen Meadows focuses on the 1er Cru vineyards of Vosne-Romanée. Driving
up the D974, and this smart but quiet village comes into view, its gentley sloping vineyards and small
cluster of limestone buildings look unassuming. But this commune is home to the most coveted, and
many of the most alluring Burgundy reds of all, it’s grand crus – like La Romanée-Conti, La Romanée,
Richebourg and Romanée-St-Vivant, to name a few, are amongst the regions true icons, wines of dreams.
But Vosne is home to more than this, as Allen made clear in his 2010 book devoted entirely to this village
and its wines – The Pearl of the Côte: The Great Wines of Vosne-Romanée. To really understand Vosne,
we must understand each of its 1er Cru vineyards. They provide the tapestry of terroirs through which we
can understand the expression of Vosne as a whole. We have further narrowed down this patchwork of
identities by focusing on one single highly regarded vintage, now with some maturity in bottle – 2016.
Over dinner at Upper House, guided by the man who wrote the book on Vosne-Romanée, we will gain
intimate portraits on these thirteen 1er Cru terroirs. A masterclass dinner to remember.
