Amberósia brings to London a novel wine-tasting experience, inviting you to explore history and culture through a new lens: the wine in your glass!
Explore across four regions – Atlantic, Alps, Mediterranean, Caucasus – and how the geography of each has shaped human culture, history, mythology and wine.
The Story
We all have an innate desire to tell and share stories with one another. It’s a tradition stretching back deep in time: our ancestors would gather around a fire – often in a cave or some other form of shelter – and trade exciting tales on the origin of this-or-that, musing in wonder at the distant lights sparkling in the heavens above.
Ambrosia – from Greek αμβροσία, the food & drink of the gods in Greek mythology, the elixir of life.
In our modern age, so much of that communal campfire feeling has been 'lost', and yet the yearning for great stories and connection remains with us.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and brought it back to humanity – the spark from this fire can be understood as the spark of knowledge and human creativity that every good tale is built from.
Magic in a glass
Great wine tells its own story too: it can describe the land it has come from and the people who have put their passion and craft into making it.
Shared laughter, bonding with old friends, making new ones: done right, wine can aid you in writing some of the best stories of your life. So, with a glass in your hand, gather around the proverbial campfire and settle down for an unforgettable evening.
The best stories are told with wine: Welcome to Amberósia.
