Join us in celebrating 20 years of the ultimate wine film, from The Holdovers director, Alexander Payne. Plus some post-screening wine tasting*, hosted by our bar manager and wine connoisseur. Why not!

Neatly dubbed by Village Voice magazine as ‘Days of Wine and Neuroses’, this road movie set in California’s vineyards charts a critical week in the life of two ex-college buddies (Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church) sharing a mid-life crisis. While sampling the local wine, they meet two beautiful women (Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh) who might answer their needs.

Let the enduring war between Pinot and Cabernet commence.

Following the screening of the film, our bar manager Helen will take you through a casual wine tasting and a brief talk, defending Mile’s nemesis in the film, Merlot. We shall share three samples of the much-maligned grape and hopefully, rebuild its reputation.

*If you would like to watch the film on its own without the wine tasting, book your tickets here.
