We look forward to welcoming you to The NSPCC Fine Wine Challenge this year!
This year's Fine Wine Challenge is taking place at Church House on Thursday 4 March 2027.
Our annual challenge is a fun, fast-paced, interactive wine-tasting quiz. The evening promises fine wine, great conversation, and a healthy dose of competition.
This is the perfect event to develop your appreciation of fine wines while entertaining your most valued clients, colleagues and friends.
Show off your sommelier skills and uncork your wine knowledge. Guests are encouraged, in exchange for donations, to cheat their way to the challenge trophy!
In 2026, our Fine Wine Challenge event raised over £281,000 for Childline, enough to pay for almost five days of this life-changing NSPCC service.
"I've relished the rare opportunity to raid Charles Lea’s reserves for this annual NSPCC event. I cannot wait to taste this sensational trio with guests and I hope that all of the tickets sell out in record speed given the gravitas of the wines, the unique format, and the urgent need to raise funds for this worthy cause."

Why support the NSPCC's Fine Wine Challenge?
On average, a child contacts Childline every 45 seconds.
Our Childline service gives children and young people a voice when no one else is listening. Whatever problems or dangers they face, we give them somewhere to turn to for support when they need it.
Children don’t always know who to trust with their worries. Without a safe place to turn, they can put their trust in the wrong person or keep their fears to themselves. Home isn’t a safe place for every child, and many children feel trapped, lonely, and unsure of who to trust.
The NSPCC Fine Wine Challenge will fundraise for Childline in 2027, with an ambition to raise even more than last year. This will help children and young people 365 days a year, when they have nowhere else to turn.
""I just wanted to say a big thank you to the counsellor I spoke to this morning. I don’t know what I would've done if you hadn't been there to talk to. You made me feel so much better about myself and gave me hope that maybe I'll make it. I'm so grateful for everything you've done. I was able to feel like my feelings are valid and that I have worth and a reason to live.""
