Event Reviews
Wine Tasting and Exclusive Art Preview
A relaxed and informal evening was enjoyed by The SaVVy Club members and their guests in South Kensington at the chic Campbell’s of London gallery. This exclusive arts preview of the new collection from Charles Neal was perfectly complimented by the wine tasting event.
Wine expert, Stuart Beitler, lead current and prospective SaVVy Club members in the tasting. We began with a fine champagne which kicked off a highly enjoyable and sociable tour of a delicious selection of ‘boutique’ wines from small vintners in France and Spain. This superb range of some of Europe’s rarest hand-made vintages, were enjoyed within the informal setting while Stuart generously imparted his knowledge and answered questions.
As the evening progressed The SaVVy Club members and guests were also treated to a sample of mouth watering canapés which were enjoyed whilst having the opportunity to admire the stunning art work on show.

The Groucho Club Opera Treat
The evening began with the private use of the Royal Retiring Room allowing The SaVVy Club members the opportunity for relaxed and social pre-show drinks. Just before the performance began we made our way to our excellent seats which were just six rows from the orchestra pit.
The stage set was simple and yet effective perfectly complimenting the performance of Death in Venice - the compelling tale of Aschenbach, a disillusioned writer who falls dangerously in love with a Polish youth while on holiday in sensuous Venice. The performance was exquisite and incredibly moving. Making his debut in the lead role was Ian Bostridge while Peter Coleman-Wright took the multiple baritone roles. Britten’s seductive score was conducted by Edward Gardener in his debut as ENO’s Music Director.
Sadly, the performance had to come to an end. As the curtain fell we made our way to the Groucho Club for our long awaited supper at 11pm. We were not disappointed as we were treated to a gourmet two course meal with wine and were joined by the English National Opera’s Artistic Director, John Berry.
