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.

The finale event for The Fine Wine Experience Burghound Symposium this year in Hong Kong is the Gala Dinner. This dinner is where we really let our hair down, celebrating in the traditional Burgundy “paulée” style, all of us attending sharing bottles, magnums, jeroboams (!), from our cellars for old friends at our table, and new friends around the room.
The dinner exemplifies the generosity, friendship, and natural sense to share the passion for these wines with others, so join The Fine Wine Experience team, Allen & Erica Meadows (aka Mr & Mrs Burghound), Antoine Amiot from Domaine Amiot-Servelle, Bertrand Dugat from Domaine Claude Dugat, Christian Clerget from Domaine Christian Clerget & Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne for this very special night.
This dinner is a BYO Burgundy event - the chance to pull from the cellar your special bottles, mature rarities, and - especially - those large format bottles that were just made for nights like this. (Of course, if you need help, we have plenty of Burgundy available for you to purchase – just let us know and we’ll be sure to have you well equipped for the night). Whatever bottles (or large formats) of Burgundy wines you choose to bring to share on 8th March, we will make sure there are corkscrews, ice buckets and anything you might need to assist you to serve your wines to your fellow guests. The spirit of Burgundy’s “la paulée” is sharing, and we look forward to sharing with you too.
