At first I thought this might be a novel appraoch to a wine-tasting – i.e. a selection of wine samples strategically placed across the northern Fells to test the competitor’s wine knowledge whilst hurtling upo and dwn dale on rocky paths, complicated by the effect of increasing volume of alcohol on the runner’s ability to stay upright!
But alas no, It’s not too late to register for the Fell’s Wine and Food Experience which takes place at a venue which could not be less like a Lakeland Fell, i.e. Somerset House in London between 10.00 am and 5.30 pm on Wednesday 22nd October.
This is a tasting not to be missed. Not only does it offer you the opportunity to taste award winning wines from our portfolio of family owned producers but, for the first time, we have matched a selection of our wines to a range of delicious canapés to demonstrate the breadth and versatility of our range.
John E Fells is one of the leading fine wine importers in the UK, and has been voted Importer of the Year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition.
Founded in London in 1858 Fells is owned by Symington Family Estates, owners of the renowned Port houses of Graham’s, Dow and Warre, who together with Miguel Torres, producers of the leading Spanish wines Sangre de Toro and Vina Sol, are long standing shareholders in the company.

Little did I realise that those floods during that fell-running competition were in fact floods of wine!
