Breakfast at Leisure

Take your time over breakfast before the Golden Vines weekend officially gets underway.

10:00 AM
Golden Vines Masterclasses

Intimate masterclasses led by some of the world’s most respected estates and wine educators. Sessions are kept deliberately small so every guest has real proximity to the producer and the wine. Past themes have included Bordeaux All-Stars, Iconic Women in Wine, Italian Icons, South American All-Stars, and exclusive sessions with houses like Dom Pérignon and Krug — each one poured from bottles that rarely leave the cellar.

1:00 PM
Winemaker Lunch

Lunch hosted directly by a leading estate. In 2025, guests dined at tables hosted by partnerships including Château Lafite Rothschild with Trimbach Clos Ste. Hune, Harlan Estate with Dom Pérignon Plénitude 3, and Château Cheval Blanc. London's edition promises to be equally extraordinary.

7:00 PM
La Paulée Wine Dinner

The legendary winemaker dinner modelled on Burgundy's La Paulée tradition — guests and producers alike bring bottles from their own cellars to share. One of the most extraordinary and convivial wine evenings in the world.

12:00 - 4:00 PM
Sponsor-Hosted Winemaker Lunches

Choose from a selection of intimate lunches, each hosted by a legendary estate in a setting that reflects their character. In 2025, guests joined a white truffle and fine wine lunch with Masseto at master watchmaker F.P. Journe's atelier, or a lunch with Artémis Domaines — featuring Château Latour — against the backdrop of one of the largest private supercar collections in the US.

7:00 PM
Champagne Reception

Guests gather for a standing reception before the gala — the room filled with winemakers, collectors, and connoisseurs from around the world. The evening opens with a rare Champagne pour befitting the occasion: at the 2025 edition, guests were among the first anywhere in the world to taste Dom Pérignon P2 before its global release.

8:00 PM
Seated Dinner ft. Chef Simon Rogan

Take your seat for the signature Awards Gala dinner. Chef Simon Rogan — three Michelin stars at L'Enclume, nine across his global group — has created a bespoke multi-course menu for the evening, with each course paired to wines that tell their own story.

~ 10:00 PM
Awards Ceremony

Nine of the wine world's most coveted trophies are presented live, voted on by more than 800 international experts. The ceremony is woven through with a headline musical performance — past artists have included Kylie Minogue, Celeste, Aiyana-Lee, and Cat Burns.

~ 11:00 PM
Christie's Live Auction & After-Party
