Events at Court Garden

Join us for a unique opportunity to enjoy some very interesting and rare wines from some great producers.

The evening will commence with a glass of Court Garden before the wines are served alongside a delicious 3-course dinner.

Henry Butler from Butler’s Wine Cellar, Brighton’s oldest wine merchant will host the evening and present these great wines from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.

Additionally, there are Magnums of the 2000 vintage of Château Batailley to enjoy.

There will be an auction of some of the wines presented on the night and some other surprises.

The wines have all been donated by a friend of Court Garden and all proceeds from the evening will be distributed by the Rotary Club of The Sussex Vale for local and international good causes.

Tickets, but please call them donations, will be issued by Court Garden.
