About this Event

Join the Wine Guild of the UK and Janet Z Wang, author of 'The Chinese Wine Renaissance', on 24th September 2026 for an evening that's part food and wine discovery, part cultural celebration and entirely delicious.
We're marking the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival - a 3,000-year-old tradition of getting together and abundance under the full moon - by exploring China's most exciting wine regions. Think Ningxia, Yunnan and beyond, where ancient winemaking traditions are creating surprisingly brilliant modern wines.

Janet will guide you through the stars of Chinese wine, sharing stories of the regions and winemakers behind each bottle. Whether you geek out over tasting notes or just enjoy a good glass with great food, this is your chance to experience something genuinely special - secure your ticket today and discover why Chinese viticulture is one of the wine world's best-kept secrets.
