Discover Portugal: A Wine Dinner at Pedro’s `Wine Bar

Unit 128, Druid Street, London SE1 2HH

Wednesday, 21st October 2026. 19:00 to 22:00 hrs.

Dress Code: Casual

Following on from the new style of event being introduced with our lunch at La Trompette, we are delighted to offer members something a little different again this autumn.

On Wednesday, 21st October 2026, from 7.00pm to 10.00pm, we will be hosting a relaxed Portuguese wine dinner at Pedro’s Wine Bar, featuring six specially selected Portuguese wines, a three-course dinner and the opportunity to explore some of the country’s less familiar wine regions and grape varieties.

Situated on Druid Street in Bermondsey, close to Maltby Street Market, Pedro’s is a specialist Portuguese wine bar dedicated to showcasing the breadth and quality of wines being produced across Portugal. Its range reaches well beyond the familiar names and styles, with a focus on distinctive producers, regions and indigenous grape varieties. With Portuguese wine, food and hospitality at its heart, it is an ideal setting for the evening.

We will begin with a glass of Conde de Cantanhede Bruto sparkling wine on arrival, before moving through the six featured wines over dinner.

Guiding us will be Pedro himself, an expert in Portuguese wine with a Level 3 wine qualification and extensive knowledge of the country’s producers and regions. Pedro is trusted by international wine producers to represent their wines in the UK and has hosted tastings for organisations including Barclays, Lloyds and Charles Tyrwhitt.

He will introduce each wine, tell us about the people and places behind it and explain what makes it distinctive. The format will be informal and conversational, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and exchange views along the way.

Portugal has an extraordinary diversity of wine, much of it still relatively unfamiliar to many wine drinkers. During the evening we will explore wines from Vinho Verde, Beira Interior and Tejo, tasting three whites and three reds:

Whites

• Quinta do Regueiro, Trajadura & Alvarinho - Vinho Verde
• Gouveio - Beira Interior
• Casal Coelheira Reserva - Tejo

Reds

• Beyra Reserva - Beira Interior
• Encosta do Sobral Vinhas Velhas - Tejo
• Mythos - Tejo

These will be accompanied by a three-course dinner, with a choice from the following:

Starters: (1 option per person) 

• Croquettes 
• Burrata salad with tomatoes 

Main Course: (1 option per person) 

• Sea bass with crushed potatoes 
• 1/2 Chicken Piri -Piri

Deserts: (1 option per person) 

•  Pastel de Nata 
• 1 scoop of Sorbet ( mango flavour) 

This new style of event is all about discovery: trying something different, exploring wines and regions we may not encounter every day, and tasting more of what the wider world of wine has to offer. And, as always, enjoying good food and the good company of fellow members and friends along the way.

At £75 per person, with guests welcome at the same price, we hope this more informal and accessible format will give members another way to enjoy the Club and introduce friends and partners to it too.

If evenings such as this prove popular, we hope they can become a regular addition to the Club’s programme alongside our traditional events.

Dress code: Casual

Please note: the dinner will take place on Pedro’s mezzanine level. Unfortunately, there is no disabled access to this area.

We hope you will join us at Pedro’s for what promises to be a very enjoyable evening and the start of something a little different for the Club.
