“One of the most imaginative musical confections turned out by Hollywood in years [...] Kelly is the picture’s top star and rates every inch of his billing. His diversified dancing is great as ever and his thesping is standout”

GROUP BOOKINGS AVAILABLE AT THIS SCREENING
Vintage Screenings pair classic films with thematically linked wine tastings to create unique evenings in the stunning setting of Averys Wine Merchants’ historic wine cellar. Following a sparkling wine reception, the film will be accompanied by a tasting of four carefully selected wines courtesy of Averys’ resident experts.
Our duo of June Vintage Screenings starts with the Oscar-winning musical extravaganza An American In Paris. With music from Gershwin and famous dance sequences from Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, it’s a spectacle not to be missed - especially not when paired with French and American wines, naturally!
Take your evening further with our add-on options. Before the film, enjoy a pre-screening tasting session as you learn more about wine tasting over a glass. Indulge during your screening with a delicious deli box from Two Belly; their selections of cheeses, chutneys and crackers are a perfect complement to the wine tasting. And if you’re celebrating a special occasion, we are now offering special Group Booking packages for groups of six or more. See the drop-down menus below for more information.
Please note that Vintage Screenings are strictly for over-18s only

About The Location
Averys began in 1793 and over the years, the family has built its reputation as one of the UK’s most pioneering wine merchants. Their historic wine cellar can be found beneath their shop on Culver street, and is an atmospheric and intimate setting for our Vintage Screenings.
Two Belly Deli Box
Indulge during your screening with a delicious deli box from Two Belly cheese and beer shop. Enjoy 3 different cheeses, along with an artisan chutney and crackers.

Pre-Screening Tasting
Before your screening, we are now offering the opportunity for a pre-screening tasting session with Averys expert, and Vintage Screening co-host Frank Mason.
For an extra £6.50 per person, enjoy an additional glass of wine before your film, with a brief introduction to wine tasting.
Frank has been working with Averys since 2010 and heads up the Events team, delivering over 120 events a year both virtually and in Averys historic vaulted cellar in the centre of Bristol. Frank completed the WSET Diploma in wine – a two year course on wine drinking, back in 2014! And now teaches those wine courses to both customers and staff. In his spare time he loves listening to death metal and is a professional crocodile wrestler (his words!).
