2026
October 26th
Launching on the 26th October 2026, we are proud to present an exclusive series of Italian Wine & Extra Virgin Olive Oil Masterclasses in the President's Room at Queen's Club, Barons Court, London.
Each masterclass begins at 7 pm, doors open at 6:30 pm, and takes guests on a journey through one of Italy's renowned wine regions, unveiling its unique history, terroir, indigenous grape varieties, olive cultivars, and artisanal production methods. Carefully selected wines and exceptional extra virgin olive oils will be tasted throughout the evening, offering a rare opportunity to appreciate the diversity and excellence of Italy's gastronomic heritage under expert guidance.
Our First Masterclass – A Journey Through Campania
We are privileged to inaugurate this series with an outstanding producer: Feudi di San Gregorio, one of Italy's most renowned and internationally respected wineries.
For this special inaugural masterclass, Antonio Capaldo, owner of Feudi di San Gregorio, will personally lead us on a fascinating sensory journey through the wines of the estate, its history, and the extraordinary territory of Irpinia.
Through the wines, guests will discover the character of Campania's indigenous grape varieties, the unique volcanic soils and mountain climate of Irpinia, and the philosophy that has made Feudi di San Gregorio a benchmark for the modern expression of Campania's wine heritage.
It will be a unique opportunity to meet the producer himself and gain an authentic insight into the territory, people, culture and craftsmanship behind some of the region's most distinctive wines.
Tasting guide
Following the masterclass, guests will have the option to remain for a buffet dinner, main course and dessert, prepared by the Chef at the Club, where they may continue to enjoy the wines featured during the tasting.
Upon completion of 3 masterclasses/courses, attendees will receive a Certificate of Participation, granting access to a range of exclusive benefits, including:
