Wine Club - June
Come and celebrate English Wine week with a tutored tasting of several of Artelium’s wines with owners Julie and Mark and explore the background to the growing status enjoyed by Sussex as a wine growing region.
From the history, the soil, the challenges wine makers face (yes the weather is still one of them!) to what grows well and why.
We will taste two reds and two whites along with two sparkling wines. Compare and contrast, sip and savour. And then enjoy a causal one-course supper while you make sure your first impressions were correct as all bottles will be on the table
Wine Club - May
Low intervention v conventional wines - what’s the difference?
Come and taste eight wines, four white and four red, two of each conventionally produced and two of each low-intervention. We are delighted to welcome Kevin Barbry from Les Caves de Pyrene who will look at the nuances, explain what low-intervention is all about and introduce you to some of the amazing growers he works with.
There are just 10 places available in order to keep the evening informal and allow for an intimate Q&A session and a chance to really get under the bonnet of the wines we are tasting. Supper is included as part of the ticket price
Start: 7pm
Tasting: eight wines
Supper: One course (vegetarian option available)
Cost: £25
New Year's Eve
We are heading to Scotland for our NewYear’s Eve. It’s a fast train to Hogmanay imagined by Maeve and Dougie.
Festive Wreath Workshop - Afternoon
Craft a wild Sussex wreath and embrace the holiday spirit with our very own Caroline Towl, @podinthepalms. You’ll create a willow wreath adorning it with locally foraged dried materials, abundant berries and fragrant foliage, finishing with a jewel-toned silk ribbon. Our commitment to sustainable floristry means you can compost your wreath once the festive season is over, or reuse the willow base next year.

Lewes Bonfire
We will be open from 5pm until 11pm on 5th November serving a casual supper of lentils and sausages, some rather special cheeses, and salad. Wine is included and the idea is to drop in as you wish through the evening.
Please note this is a ticketed only event and only ticket holders will be admitted through the back door down Walwers Lane. There is no access to Lewes via road or public transport during the evening, so please only buy a ticket if you have somewhere to stay!
Sunday lunch club: Abruzzo
Abruzzo is a magically diverse region with soaring mountains, a long coastline, acres of vines and a rich and varied cuisine. Come and join us for an end of summer Italian-inspired lunch with wine pairings from the region.
