“Every line, every ‘gag’, is a little masterpiece of wit”
DOORS: 18:45 | FILM STARTS 19:00
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.
After almost two years of postponement, we’re delighted to at long last be screening the classic Ealing comedy Passport To Pimlico. Due to the importance of Burgundy in the plot, we’ll be tasting wines made from the two key grapes from the region: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Please note that Vintage Screenings are strictly for over-18s only
About The Film
1949 | PG | 84 mins
When an unexploded WWII bomb accidentally detonates, it unearths a cellar containing ancient proof that the London district of Pimlico is legally part of the Duchy of Burgundy – which makes it exempt from British law, including rationing and pub closing hours…!
