Happy autumn equinox!
After a very warm summer, autumn has arrived with a grounding feeling and we're starting to see nature’s gradual transformation from high energy and abundance towards chillier and calmer days.
In the northern hemisphere, this year’s harvest season arrived earlier than usual due to the intense heat. Extreme weather patterns are becoming an increasing challenge for growers, highlighting the importance of working with deep respect for nature and what it can give us if we nurture it. I’ve had the chance to harvest with inspiring growers who follow nature’s rhythms; their healthy vines and grapes are the hope we have for this vintage.
This is a very active season for Vinjoyment! I really hope to see you at any of the upcoming events… and I’m already looking forward to planning some exciting private workshops for some of you!
Have a wonderful autumn,
UPCOMING EVENTS AT FUNKY CELLAR
Saturday 10 October, 3pm - From the Dolomites to Mount Etna: Italian wines
LIMITED TICKETS REMAINING!
This event is dedicated to excellent artisanal wines from Italy’s sometimes overlooked regions. We’ll go from the high-altitude alpine vineyards of Trentino and Alto Adige, through the rugged hills of Abruzzo and all the way down to the volcanic soils of Sicily... and much more!
Saturday 7 November, 3pm - Rare Grapes
This tasting ventures beyond the familiar to celebrate the ‘rare’, indigenous and often forgotten vines that offer a unique expression of their land and their ancestral roots. We will focus on the agricultural history, survival stories and distinct regional identities of these grape varieties.
Saturday 5 December, 3pm - Feliz Everything! Winter cellar favourites
There is no better excuse than the start of the festive season to gather together, get cosy and pour something special. Feliz Everything is our cheerful toast to the winter season; a celebration of warmth, great company and the kind of wines that make the colder months something to look forward to. We will be diving into our cellar to share an international selection of our favourite winter warmers.
Private events at Forbidden Fruit
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve joined forces with Lady of the Grapes to offer private events at Forbidden Fruit, the speakeasy-style wine bar that is part of their beautiful new restaurant in London Bridge (you might have been to their Covent Garden bistro before!).
Whether this is for your work social or a special celebration with your friends, this is an ideal space for it.
You can find more information HERE. Please feel free to get in touch to ask for more details.
NOTE: I still also offer the option to facilitate private events at your home, offices or any other suitable space within the venues I partner with. Please get in touch and we can plan it! lorena@vinjoyment.com
Curated Vinjoyment wine boxes
I love curating bespoke wine boxes and appreciate the positive feedback I’ve received from those of you who have trusted me to put a box together!

The Discovery case - from £185

The Expedition case - from £360

Ps. It is definitely possible to get more than 12 bottles, of course! Just let me know.
