    About the event

    A private view of wine in Western art

    Private exhibition view | In Vino Veritas is a Member-only viewing organized by 67 Pall Mall around In Vino Veritas: The Visual Rhetoric of Wine, newly opened at Colnaghi London. The exhibition is centred on wine’s role within the Western iconographic tradition, bringing archaeological artefacts together with Old Master paintings and sculpture.

    The exhibition traces wine from communal and ritual contexts to later allegorical and symbolic uses. It examines wine within a broader visual language concerned with excess, transformation, and the transience of sensory experience.

    Guided tour and paired pours

    The evening is structured as a guided tour for a small group of Members, led by curator Federico Bonezzi. Federico Moccia, Head of Wine Operations, joins at three key works to pour a wine from the region associated with each artwork and connect the wine in the glass to the work’s visual and cultural themes.

    The wines named for the event are 2022 Herbert Hall Traditional Method Brut from Kent, England; 2020 Domaine de Montille Monthélie from Côte de Beaune; 2024 Graci Etna Bianco from Sicily; and 2003 Estate Argyros Vinsanto 20 Years Barrel Aged from Santorini.

    Venue and timing

    The viewing takes place at Colnaghi London, 26 Bury St, SW1Y 6AL, in London. The listed schedule begins with a welcome reception at 18:30, the guided tour starts at 19:00, and the event concludes at 20:00.

    Members are encouraged to continue their evening in the Club afterwards, with a Members’ Lounge reservation path referenced on the event page.
