BURGHOUND SYMPOSIUM

Burghound Symposium

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.

RARE WINE DINNER: Burgundy Decade Steps Dinner – 2005, 1995, 1985

with special guests: Allen & Erica Meadows

2005, 1995, and 1985 not only offer us a look at Burgundy vintages now ten, twenty and thirty years old, these anniversaries also happen by chance to intersect three very interesting vintages. Indeed, Allen Meadows, who hosts this evening’s dinner, rates 2005 possibly the best vintage since 1962, and 1985 was the best vintage of its decade. 1995, as we found at last year’s symposium in Bangkok, at least at the top end, produced successful wines today drinking at their absolute peak. In addition to the chance to get to know these three vintages in turn, the three decadespaced intervals also gives us a chance to see fine Burgundy in evolution – not only maturity in the cellar, but the three epochs they represent in the evolution of Burgundy as a region. And, as your eyes peruse the wine list for this evening’s small-scale rare wine dinner, you will see that we shall enjoy a wide range of wines that rank as benchmarks, by any measure.
