Wine Time

Whether for morning coffee, a quick lunch with friends or a few glasses of wine over a plate of charcuterie, we love to visit The Continental Pantry. Owned by friends Kate and Maria, the stylish deli and wine bar in Notting Hill champions artisanal produce, serving European food and wine with an emphasis on unique Spanish, Italian and French produce. And this season sees the launch of regular wine tasting evenings. Hosted by Kate, who holds a diploma from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, each session will introduce a different region, pairing five exciting wines with delicious canapés.

Sessions run on the first Thursday of the month and cost £45pp. 57 Ledbury Road, W11 (thecontinentalpantry.com)
