From China to the world. A gift from China to the world.

Join us for a rare and immersive evening exploring one of China's most celebrated and historic spirit producers, Wuliangye. Recognised globally as one of the world's great luxury spirits, Wuliangye sits at the pinnacle of traditional Chinese baijiu, crafted in Yibin, Sichuan Province, where more than a thousand years of distilling heritage continues today.

This special tasting offers the opportunity to experience four remarkable expressions from the Wuliangye portfolio:

Each spirit tells a different story of craftsmanship, tradition and innovation, showcasing the extraordinary complexity, texture and aromatic depth that have made Wuliangye one of China's most revered spirits. Produced using a unique blend of five grains and centuries-old fermentation techniques, Wuliangye represents a style unlike anything found elsewhere in the world.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy a selection of thoughtfully matched canapés, designed to complement and enhance the distinctive character of each spirit. These pairings will provide an engaging introduction to the harmony between baijiu and food, while offering a contemporary expression of Chinese hospitality and dining culture.

The tasting will be held within the beautiful surroundings of Webb's Gallery, with the Select Art Auction on view throughout the evening. It is a fitting backdrop for an event that celebrates craftsmanship, heritage and artistry, bringing together exceptional spirits, carefully considered food and remarkable works of art.
