Taste & Talk | Wine & Climate Change

Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses Brockwell Park, Herne Hill

Spend an evening with us in the Greenhouse tasting delicious wines and learning all about the wine industry’s response to climate change, all accompanied by tasty tapas from the BPCG gardens.  With climate change accelerating at an alarming pace, the business of growing grapes for wine is a precarious one. Many grapes can only thrive within narrow climate parameters, so wine makers from the UK and across the world are having to rapidly adapt as well as trying to improve their own relationship with the environment. Liam from Wild + Lees will share six wines that tell of the challenges (and, in some cases, opportunities) faced by winemakers, and the innovations being practiced in order to keep the wine flowing. We will serve a range of food made using Greenhouse favourites to accompany the wines. With a line-up of UK and European sustainable, natural and organic wines, expect a sample of the best for planet and palate! Book here All profits from this event will go towards our educational work and garden volunteering programme.
