Events Upcoming Events We organise three main types of Event for our customers. Boursot’s Wine Collection has Underground Vaulted Cellars under its Ardres shop where you can entertain your friends or clients. A talk or a wine tasting can be arranged here if you wish and most customer preferences can be catered for easily enough. Local cheeses, patés, salads and French bread can be provided if you wish to complement the wines with some light food. The capacity of the cellar is 25 people, depending on event format, and costs are remarkably low, starting at the equivalent of £5 per head. Please call or e-mail Boursot’s to discuss your requirements. Boursot’s Wine Collection Vaulted Cellars Your group can receive a Talk on wine or a Tasting either in the UK or at the venue where you may be staying locally in France. With Guy Boursot’s many years of experience, you may be guaranteed an entertaining yet informative presentation (see Testimonials on the Speaker Page). For an estimate, or simply to discuss possibilities, please contact Guy Boursot. Tasting at a house in Kent for 22 people Boursot’s Wine Collection hosts Gourmet Lunches and Dinners for its customers. These are held (in English) in various well reputed restaurants in the Pas de Calais area and winemakers or principals are invited to come and talk about their wines. These Lunches and Dinners have been acclaimed as being really enjoyable and of superb value.
