The current owners of the Symington Family Estates represent the 4th and 5th generation to be working the vines and making fine wines in Portugal’s great Douro Valley.

Charles Symington

Charles Symington is one of the world’s most-acclaimed winemakers, producing 41 wines that have scored 95 or high on the Wine Spectator 100-point scale, which is believed to be more than any other winemaker. On the 20th October, Charles will be presenting a wine tasting with Hedonism, where guests will taste 5 vintage wines from 2017 to 1986. Hedonism have stated that “this tasting will bring together three of the world’s greatest Port houses, for which the Symington’s are the proud custodians.“ Tickets are £250 per head.
