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.

MASTERCLASS: 2015 Burgundy, Ten Years On
The Fine Wine Experience, (Shop A, 165-166 Connaught Road West, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong)
Get direction
with special guests: Allen & Erica Meadows
Ten years is a great point in time in which to really assess the quality and characteristics of a Burgundy vintage, with wines ranging from fully ready, to opening up, or at least revealing their potential. 2015 was a warm, dry year, the fourth in the 21st century in which harvest began in August, and in generally good conditions, with little need for sorting. At the time, following a run of uneven and small vintages, 2015 was well received, with record prices at the Hospices de Beaune auction. With the benefit of time, the wines reveal much more, so what can we learn?
In today’s masterclass wine tasting, Allen Meadows takes a broad sweep across a wide range of villages, appellation levels, and producer styles, so that we can gain a really deep appreciation for the 2015 vintage. Have the whites stood the test of time in this warmer year? Did certain villages shine over others? Or, was it a question for the producer – getting the picking date right, or choices in the winery? All this will be discussed as we taste our way through 11 wines – 11 villages – 11 benchmark producers, to really appreciate 2015 in 2025.
