Autumn Season starts with a sun-soaked classic

School may be back but this gorgeous weather has us craving a holiday - thankfully, our first screening of the Autumn season was the perfect solution!

We hosted a sold out screening of classic romcom Roman Holiday at Averys Wine Merchants, with an Italian wine tasting alongside - including a very special wine made within the Rome appellation!

The film is particularly unusual in that it was filmed entirely in Rome - leading to the urban myth that the reason it was filmed in black and white was so that the beauty of the city did not eclipse the star power of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck…

With thanks to our partners C The World, Native Vine, The Chocolate Tart and Papadeli!

The weather is perfect to enjoy this sun-soaked classic, filmed entirely in Rome!

If you missed out there is plenty to catch at Averys this Autumn - head to our Vintage Screening Events page to see the full programme to Christmas!
