Club meetings schedule

The Chalfont and Amersham Wine Club meets every month on the first Tuesday at 8pm.  We try to finish about 10.30pm.  The venue is Little Chalfont Village Hall, Cokes Lane, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, HP7 9QA.  click here for a map

The evening consists of a presenter, usually an independent wine merchant or other knowledgeable wine lover, presenting about nine wines on a theme.  There is always lots of conversation and laughter, plenty of debate and a wide range of opinions.  Everyone enjoys learning about new discoveries and comparing the different wines.  The main emphasis is on informality, relaxed conversation and FUN!

A light buffet is provided but please bring your own tasting glasses – at least two to be able to compare wines side by side.  The Club now sells the recommended ISO tasting glasses at a very reasonable price should you not already have these. 

The typical cost of an evening is £10 - £15.  Great value for an enjoyable evening!  

Due to enormous popularity, we now have a waiting list for new membership.  Please contact us if you would like to join the membership waiting list.

The Summer Party 2010 was again held at Elizabeth and Alistair Elliott's home in Little Chalfont on 3rd July.  A great time was had, with excellent wine, food, conversation and a quiz.  Look out for details of next year's Summer Party and book early to avoid disappointment.

The Christmas Party this year will be a different format to the usual monthly meetings and to previous year's parties.  Look out for details in the near future.

Each month the club votes for a "Wine of the Month" and in April we re-taste all the "Wines of the Month" to find the "Wine of the Year".
