Join Amelia at London Wine Fair

Wine trade friends — if you’re heading to LWF next week, make sure the California Pavilion at J46 is on your list.

We’re right in the epicentre of the fair, beside the central stage and the VIP lounge, so it’s very much a place to be.

The immersive stand is split into two sections:

Legacy of Excellence
A special showcase marking the 50th anniversary of the Judgement of Paris, celebrating the legacy of Steven Spurrier and featuring four wineries that shone in that iconic tasting. It’s being poured by the Académie du Vin team and includes Stag’s Leap and Chalone Vineyard.

Discover California Free Pour
This section brings together wines from Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara and Lodi, with a line-up that really shows the breadth of California wine.

Expect everything from a 100-year-old vine Zinfandel from Perlegos Vineyard to the first Koshu wine in the US, plus Hollywood glamour from Fess Parker’s estate. There’s also Spring Mountain — yes, that Falcon Crest backdrop — and even a chance to taste $300 wines from a top Paso Robles producer.

We’re also featuring Eden Rift, the oldest continuously producing winery in California, first planted in 1849, alongside regenerative, organic and biodynamic producers, Napa winemakers making private labels, and Donum, where world-class Pinot meets a living museum of art.

There really is something for everyone, and plenty of the producers are flying in and would love to meet you.

Come find me at J46, taste California properly, and say hello — I’ll be pouring.
