VINTAGE SCREENINGS

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, guiding you through them at stages during the film.

New for July 2024, we’ll also be taking Vintage Screenings “on tour” at our second Clifton Summer Screenings event on 4th-7th July. Find out more about these special showings below.

This is one of our year-round series. To find out more about all of our series, click here.

The grandfather of all romcoms, and one of the finest of all time

This November, we’re celebrating the 90th anniversary of one of the all-time great comedies, It Happened One Night. Frank Capra’s screwball romcom prototype is one of only three films to date to win ‘The Big Five’ at the Oscars – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress – so we’re pairing it with wines from around the world that have won a similarly impressive number of awards and accolades.
