King’s Presence Chamber Dinner at Banqueting House

The Banqueting House in Whitehall is an Inigo Jones architectural masterpiece, built for the courts of James I and Charles I, and remains to this day a part of the Royal Palaces. The first Palladian-inspired building in England, the ceilings were painted by Ruebens.  It was the scene of the most lavish and sophisticated state banquets during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Coates & Seely’s Brut Reserve sparkling wines were served before the dinner of the King’s Presence Chamber – a select group of the Historic Royal Palace’s most prominent supporters – which comprised an authentic banquet of Stuart culinary delights and a dance troupe dancing to contemporary music.

Coates & Seely and West Green House Opera Announce Partnership

Coates & Seely is delighted to have entered a partnership with West Green House Opera, the opera festival based at the historic West Green House in Hampshire, just 25 miles from Coates & Seely’s own Hampshire vineyards.

The partnership brings together the artistry of West Green’s opera and gardens with Coates & Seely’s award-winning sparkling wines within a magical, summer setting that will enhance the experience of each of their respective audiences and private clients.

Fine music and fine wine are natural partners. While both West Green House Opera and Coates & Seely are rooted in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, each is also building a national and international reputation for the highest quality creative endeavours.

To celebrate the partnership, the performance of Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera on Sunday July 23rd will be presented in partnership with Coates & Seely, and the opera audience that night will have the chance to taste delicious Coates & Seely sparkling wines.

Diana Exhibition at Kensington Palace

Coates and Seely’s sparkling Rosé NV was served at the Preview of the ‘Diana: Her Fashion Story’ Exhibition at Kensington Palace.

This major new dress exhibition at Kensington Palace, hosted and curated by Historic Royal Palaces, traces the evolution of the Princess’s style, from the demure, romantic outfits of her first public appearances, to the glamour, elegance and confidence of her later life and includes the iconic velvet gown, famously worn at the White House when the Princess danced with John Travolta.

Our Coates & Seely Rosé, with its rose-petal pink, was, we hope, a fitting hue to arguably the most beautiful of England’s roses…

Celebration of HM Queen’s 90th Birthday

Coates & Seely were honoured to be asked to supply their sparkling wines at a dinner at Kensington Palace to celebrate HM The Queen’s 90th Birthday.  The Party’s hosts were Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that looks after six of the UK’s most iconic royal palaces with such skill and imagination.

The party began with Coates & Seely’s White and Rosé sparkling wines served on the Palace terrace overlooking Kensington Gardens, before moving on to a sumptuous dinner in the Orangery.  Afterwards, in a mood of increasing enchantment, guests were treated to a wonderful firework display that lit the Palace and its gardens to the strains of Handel, whilst the Coates & Seely wines continued to flow.
