Symington Family – Port Tasting at Edgbaston

We are excited to welcome Anthony Symington from Symington Family Estates, one of the great historic estates in Portugal’s Douro Valley. The Symington family, renowned for their stewardship of iconic port houses such as Graham’s, Dow’s, Warre’s, and Cockburn’s, has been crafting exceptional wines for generations.

In this exclusive tasting, we’ll explore a diverse range of wines. We’ll begin with a white and a red from two of their distinguished estates before delving into the legacy of Graham’s Port House. Highlights of the evening include enjoying the iconic Graham’s Six Grapes straight from a Jeroboam and a rare treat—a special re-release of Graham’s 2003 Vintage Port straight from their wine cellars. These exceptional ports will showcase two distinct styles, reflecting the rich heritage and expertise of the Symington family.
