VINTAGE SCREENINGS

Vintage Screenings pair classic films with thematically linked wine tastings to create unique evenings in the stunning setting of Averys Wine Merchants’ historic wine cellar. Following a sparkling wine reception, the film will be accompanied by a tasting of four carefully selected wines courtesy of Averys’ resident experts, guiding you through them at stages during the film.

New for July 2024, we’ll also be taking Vintage Screenings “on tour” at our second Clifton Summer Screenings event on 4th-7th July. Find out more about these special showings below.

This is one of our year-round series. To find out more about all of our series, click here.
