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.

Domaine Claude Dugat Winemaker Dinner, with Bertrand Dugat
Teen Lung Heen, The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, (1 Austin Road West, Kowloon, Hong Kong)
Get direction
with special guest: Bertrand Dugat
We are delighted to welcome to Hong Kong for the first time Bertrand Dugat, son of Claude Dugat, who will be our special guest at this evening’s dinner. This is a small domaine, one of the real jewels of Gevrey-Chambertin, a specialist within it, with a close-knit family, all involved in the enterprise. With all their vineyards within the walking distance of a plough-horse, they know their vines intimately well, and the care they take in farming is easy to see in the wines. A visit to Dugat’s ancient cellar (the oldest parts of which are Roman in origin) is to experience the extraordinary depth and natural, unpushed concentration and dazzling fruit of his wines. Everything tastes at least a step up from the appellation chalked on the barrel – the Bourgogne like a good village Gevrey, the Gevrey like a good premier cru, the premier crus like grands crus… but when you taste his Charmes-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin, and his Griottes-Chambertin you see the pinnacle of what can be achieved here.
This evening, with Bertrand present to share with us in person, we shall taste a wide range of the domaine’s wines from the highly successful 2020 vintage, before revisiting the grand crus once more, from 2010, and a ‘vintage pair’ of mature Charmes-Chambertin to finish. What a treat!
