Wine Evenings with Vins-Clairs
Join us for a series of intimate wine evenings. With limited guests, the hearth, a sommelier who knows where to look and a chef who listens to the season.
Loire Valley
An intimate evening in the snug, bringing together the hearth-led cooking of Executive Head Chef David Hazell with an exceptional selection of Loire Valley wines curated by Master Sommelier Claire Thevenot, showcasing the diversity of France's most celebrated river valley and the brilliance of its cool-climate terroir.
Designed for a limited number of guests, the evening will explore elegant wines from along the Loire, from steely mineral Muscadets and ethereal Sancerres to vibrant Chinon reds and luscious Vouvray. Thoughtfully paired with seasonal dishes and sharing plates from the hearth.

New Wave Rhône
An intimate evening in the snug, bringing together the fire-led autumn cooking of Executive Head Chef David Hazell with an exceptional selection of Rhône Valley wines curated by Master Sommelier Claire Thevenot, celebrating a beloved region through the bold and restless hands of its new generation of winemakers.
Designed for just limited guests, the evening will explore how young vignerons are reshaping the Rhône; breathing fresh life into ancient varieties, farming with conviction, and challenging what this storied valley can be. Paired thoughtfully with David's seasonal hearth dishes.
Relaxed in spirit, serious about wine.

Meet Claire Thévenot
Claire's connection with Emberwood goes back to the very beginning. A Master Sommelier who has spent years championing quality, provenance, and discovery across some of the city's leading restaurants, she has been part of our story since we opened. Shaping the wines across our list and returning, evening by evening, as a friend of the house.
What makes an evening with Claire remarkable isn't just the depth of her knowledge. It's her ability to bring wine to life through conversation, to make a glass feel like a place, a person, a decision worth understanding.
