A wine tasting should be as individual as the wine itself. We’ve tailored our offers to make sure you gain the most from your experience, be that solely wines, with dinner or added to a private event at the Chef’s Table.
Dress code
Although London forever strides ahead, elegance never goes out of style. The Dorchester is very keen on the habit of dressing brilliantly. We kindly ask guests to refrain from wearing shorts and sportswear during afternoon tea service and in the evening.

OUR SOMMELIER
Learning from the best
To truly appreciate a wine, you need to know its story. Our master sommeliers weave insightful tales into the journeys of our most exceptional wines.
Private events
The Wine Vault
Opening the doors to The Wine Vault uncovers a treasure trove of over a thousand bottles surrounding a bespoke handcrafted walnut table, where we invite you to join us for private events, wine tastings and canapé receptions with our master sommelier.
DESIGN
An artisan's touch
The bespoke, handcrafted walnut wine tasting table draws inspiration from vineyards and wine barrels. A sustainably-sourced walnut framework and floating Richlite top, made from recycled paper, adds a natural, textured feel.
For an evening with a sole focus on wine, our expert sommeliers are waiting to guide you through a private tasting in The Wine Vault. Here you’ll be greeted with a glass of champagne before enjoying a curated selection of fine wines and cheeses. This one-of-a-kind experience is an extraordinary adventure through taste.
The Wine Vault adjoins the Chef’s Table; a private dining room with a window into one of London't busiest kitchens. During this combined experience, you’ll enjoy a glass of champagne and private wine tasting with our sommeliers, before taking your seats at the Chef’s Table for a dinner to remember.
After a consultation ahead of your visit, you and your party will head to The Wine Vault and meet our sommeliers, who will guide you through a selection of fine wines. Choose your favourite bottle to enjoy with dinner at The Grill at The Dorchester, where Tom Booton’s modern British cuisine makes the perfect finale.
Each unique, each with a note of distinction and each with a story to tell, our magnificent restaurants and bars all guarantee you a fabulous time, just the way you want it.
