Nestled discreetly within the Wine Shop on the Lower Ground Floor of Harrods, The Tasting Room boasts full conference facilities and evokes a traditional wine cellar ambience – in which up to 16 people can be seated for dining and 18 for wine tasting. Wine amateurs and connoisseurs alike can take a seat around the room’s grand dark-wood table, sip exceptional wines from stemware provided by the world-renowned glassware brand Riedel, and take advantage of an array of delicious dining options, from informal charcuterie boards to multi-course fine dining menus. For corporate occasions or private hire, wine and food can be tailored to suit the specific event's requirements, with full access to The Wine Shop's range of over 3,000 lines, including many of the world's finest wines and spirits.

  Auction house Christie’s is launching its first online-exclusive wine sale that’s expected to attract bids as high as $35,000 for rare fine wines that include names like a 1982  Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Latour and Montrachet. The online-only auction dubbed Signature Cellars will include a curated collection of 300 bottles that range from top Bordeaux and Burgundy to rare Bandol wines in France and the Napa Valley. The sale, which opens in August, will be the first in a series of online-auctions which will run parallel to the company’s traditional on-site auctions. Last year, Christie’s also held an online-only auction for a collection of Elizabeth Taylor jewels   which fetched €120.7 million in sales.  Bidding for Christie’s Signature Cellars opens August 6 and closes August 20.
