Upcoming Events
Winemakers Special Edition:
MARIANA ONOFRI
by Condor Wines
Tuesday 23rd June
Chacarero Empanada House
East Dulwich
There are wine tastings, and then there are encounters.
One of the greatest pleasures in wine is discovering not only what is in the glass, but also who is behind it. Opportunities to taste wines alongside the person who made them are rare, and they offer a unique window into the world of wine beyond labels, scores, and tasting notes.
For this special Winemakers Edition, we are delighted to welcome Mariana Onofri, one of
Argentina's most respected sommeliers and winemakers, co-founder of Onofri Wines.
Together, we will taste a selection of her wines while exploring the stories, decisions, and philosophy behind each bottle.
Why was a particular vineyard chosen? Why was a wine made in a certain way? What challenges and inspirations shaped the final result? And perhaps most importantly, what motivates someone to dedicate their life to making wine?
Mariana's journey spans some of the world's most prestigious wine regions, from Mendoza to Napa Valley and Bordeaux. As one of Argentina's first certified sommeliers, she built an influential career in wine education and hospitality before launching Onofri Wines alongside viticulturist Adán Giangiulio in 2014.
Today, their boutique winery focuses on sustainable farming, minimal-intervention winemaking, and the preservation of historic vineyards and grape varieties in Mendoza. Every wine reflects a deep respect for place, tradition, and authenticity.
Join us for an intimate evening of conversation, discovery, and exceptional wines.
Come meet the winemaker, hear her story, and uncover what lies behind the bottle.
The event starts at 6.30 pm and goes until around 8.30 pm - Tickets are £39 pp
Wine tasting & Bottomless Empanadas are included

Extreme Altitude Wine Degustation
We are excited to introduce this unique High-Altitude Wine Degustation by pioneering
Argentine winemaker Agustin Lanus brought by Vinos Latinos.
Agustin will share with us his fascinating story and the work he is doing in the Andean highlands of northern Argentina at altitudes of up to 2,800 m.a.s.l. - the very limits where vineyards can survive.
During his tasting, we'll find out about the varietals that do well at altitude and ask him why height is so significant. We'll sample his most recent endeavour, which entails promoting the rediscovery of Criolla grapes that were first brought to Argentina by the Conquistadors for use in their community wine and are currently grown by native High Andeans in modest, family-run plots.
Along with hearing a beautiful tale, you'll have the chance to sample some of Agustin's most remarkable wines paired with Chacarero Authentic Argentine Empanadas and a selection of traditional desserts.
Menu:
-
7 Extreme Altitude Wines
-
3 Chacarero Empanadas
