Cornell Wine Tasting 2026

Pour Decisions Welcome!

CCUK is thrilled to invite you to join us for what has become one of our favorite annual events, our summer wine tasting! Join us for a guided tasting of a range of summer wines.

Led by Sherry Stolar, CALS ’07, founder of Sherry Rose Wine, Head of Events for fine wine merchant Justerini & Brooks, we’ll taste through a selection of five wines. By tasting wines from various grape varieties and regions, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of the styles of wine you like and, most importantly, the language to use to make better wine choices for yourself the next time you’re in a shop or restaurant.

Date and time: Saturday, 18 July 3-5pm BST
Location: Home of fellow alumni in Hampstead, London (exact address will be given once confirmed)
Cost: £35pp
Registration Deadline: 10 July (for catering purposes)
Attendance will be limited to 20 and reserved on a first come first paid basis.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with fellow alumni and expand your wine knowledge. Reserve your spot today!
