Wine Programme

A close relationship with wine producers has always been at the heart of The Connaught Hotel’s Wine Programme, reflected in a cellar of legendary vintages and exclusive collections. To celebrate this heritage, our curated experiences – from Wine Dinners to Armagnac Masterclasses and Wine Tasting Experiences – invite guests on an elevated journey into the world’s most exceptional wines and spirits.

Each event is hosted in an intimate private dining room or the restaurant, where guests are welcomed by The Connaught’s Director of Wine and introduced to the featured winemaker, Master of Wine or specialist. For Wine Dinners, Hélène Darroze and her team craft a bespoke menu designed to complement the wines presented.

From the first pour to the final taste, every detail is considered: dishes thoughtfully paired, glasses selected to enhance each vintage, and stories shared that bring every bottle to life. Whether discovering rare Armagnacs or exploring fine wines, each experience offers an immersive celebration of flavour and craftsmanship.

We are thrilled to invite you to this one-of-a-kind experience, where we will be joined by Morgan Delacloche, Brand Ambassador for Artémis Domaines who will personally introduce each glass throughout the evening. A bespoke five-course menu will be specially curated by three Michelin-star chef Hélène Darroze, beautifully paired with the great unrivalled vintages of Château Latour.

Armagnac Masterclass

A distillation of Hélène Darroze’s culinary heritage and contemporary craft, this exclusive tasting invites you to sample the chef’s Signature Baba alongside a trio of perfectly partnered Armagnacs.
