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 Ultimate Hill of Corton Dinner
Petrus, Island Shangri-La Hong Kong, (56/F, Pacific Place, Supreme Court Road, Central, Hong Kong)
Get direction
with special guests: Allen & Erica Meadows
The hill of Corton is a striking feature in the Côte d’Or, the source of the coveted CortonCharlemagne grand cru whites, and of the only grand cru reds in the whole of the Côte de Beaune. It’s home to some of Burgundy’s greatest wines – included this evening. It being a large hill, three villages lay claim to parts of its wide sweep of orientations and terroirs. Naturally, that has meant that certain climats within Corton stand out for attention, and are often appended on the label: Corton -Renardes, -Perrières, -Bressandes, Rognet, or Clos du Roi, for example.
At the this evening’s dinner Allen Meadows will unpack the key things to know about Corton, and its prime climats.
Corton has perhaps gained some additional attention since Domaine de la Romanée-Conti began making both a red (since 2008) and a white (since 2019) there, and examples of both colours from DRC are included in this evening’s line up, as it the legendary Corton-Charlemagne from CocheDury, and Leroy’s Corton-Renardes, so this evening’s dinner combines the chance to learn with the best of the best.
