The Australian Wine Festival with Matthew Jukes is back in 2025, following its great success last year. This exciting event will showcase over 50 of the highest-scoring wines from Matthew’s annual list of the best Australian wines. Attendees will have the opportunity to taste a wide variety of wines, from everyday value bottles to exceptional premium wines all while enjoying stunning panoramic views of The City and music by Bryony Dunn.

The festival is a “Walk Around” tasting, where you can meet wine importers and merchants, learn about the wines, and chat with Matthew Jukes himself.

The 17.00 tasting has an option to add on a three course dinner at the Restaurant. Diners can expect a thoughtfully crafted menu that highlights the best of British ingredients by our former St John chef, Chris Gillard. We will share a list of hand-picked gems, selected by Matthew, available to preorder for dinner, ahead of your visit.

Cheese and charcuterie boards will be available for non-diners.
