Guests will enjoy a curated menu by Ideal Collection’s executive chef Matt Whitfield, alongside a guided tasting of Bordeaux wines.
The evening will be led by Guillaume Kaczmar, a Bordeaux native with two decades of industry experience.
Mr Kaczmar represents La Compagnie Médocaine des Grands Crus and is a former head sommelier at Michelin-starred restaurants.
Oliver Weeks, managing director of Ideal Collection, said: "The Wine Club is an exciting step for Ideal Collection and a natural extension of what we already do – bringing people together through great food and drink."
Each monthly event will feature a different wine region and a guest expert, with future evenings planned at The Boathouse Swanwick, The Boathouse Chichester, and Kimbridge Barn in Romsey.
Each venue focuses on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and high-quality dining.
The wine club aims to offer a relaxed and informative environment for guests to learn about the people, places, and traditions behind each bottle.
