Fruity, oaky or tannic? More than 100 wine drinkers ranging from aficionados to novices gathered at the Chamber’s Autumn Wine Fair on 13 September to learn more about the different varieties and pick up some tips about pairing wine with food.

Seven of our member companies from the industry cracked open some of their best bottles from more than 30 wineries, giving participants the opportunity to taste different wines side-by-side to better understand the nuances of the different blends. 

The wines were provided by Discover Wines Asia, Enoteca, The Flying Winemaker, House of Connoisseur, JinGarrigue, MyiCellar and Premier Fine Wine, whose staff also helped guide participants through the tasting process, and the wine glasses were sponsored by Town House. This relaxed yet informative event was hosted by Chamber General Committee members Nicholas Brooke and Douglas Woo together with CEO Shirley Yuen.
