Perched along the tranquil banks of the river, Park Hyatt London River Thames is launching its latest refined amenity—TAMISé Wine Bar. Designed in collaboration with the esteemed architecture firm Studio Moren, TAMISé invites us into an intimate space where fine wines and speciality teas are plentiful.

A Riverside Sanctuary of Sophistication

The name TAMISé originates from a French word that describes the soft fading of light, perfectly capturing the essence of this space. As soon as you step through the doors, they are transported into an atmosphere of luxury, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of the River Thames and London’s iconic skyline. The river’s bending flow and the city’s twinkling lights create a captivating backdrop, inviting anyone to linger for hours while they enjoy their drink.

The space is thoughtfully designed to highlight the breathtaking riverside scenery while blending modern sophistication with timeless charm. Rich, warm colours and plush furnishings create a cosy yet refined ambience, drawing inspiration from London’s rich history of wine bars and evoking the sense of being in a secluded garden.

A Wine Library of Dreams 

With around 300 wine labels and more than 2,000 bottles from 24 countries across six different continents, TAMISé is a dream for wine enthusiasts. Knowledgeable wine experts guide us through this extensive collection, offering masterclasses and tailored tastings guided by expert sommeliers. These immersive sessions deepen the understanding and appreciation of wine, whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a curious novice.

Notable highlights include some of the most sought-after wines, spanning from vintage Bordeaux and rare Burgundies to iconic New World expressions. Among the standout selections is the 2002 Château Latour, 1er Cru Classé from Bordeaux, a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant masterpiece known for its structure, depth, and richness. Equally prestigious is the 2016 Opus One from Napa Valley, a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot, offering layers of black fruit, tobacco, and spice.

For lovers of Burgundy, the 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Feusselottes” from esteemed winemaker Domaine Frédéric Magnien embodies elegance with its delicate red fruit, floral notes, and fine tannins. Those seeking a richer expression can explore the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Clos Saint-Jacques” from Domaine Fourrier, a structured Pinot Noir with deep cherry, earth, and spice tones. Italian wine enthusiasts will appreciate the 2018 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia, a Super Tuscan blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, offering blackberry and cedar aromas. Another notable Italian gem is the 2011 Château Pétrus from Pomerol, a 100% Merlot wine revered for its opulence and refined texture.

TAMISé also offers an exquisite Champagne collection, including the 2015 Louis Roederer Cristal, a vintage prestige cuvée celebrated for its finesse and precision, and the 2013 Dom Pérignon, known for its creamy texture and complex minerality. Additonally, Spanish Cavas and new world bottles such as the Brazilian Sur Lie and New Zealander Cloudy Bay Perolus offer new flavours to curious tastebuds.

More than just wine: the teas and bites

In addition to its exceptional wine selection, TAMISé offers a refined afternoon tea experience, featuring an exceptional selection of JING teas sourced from some of the world’s most renowned tea estates. You can enjoy delicate white teas like a Jasmine Silver Needle, sophisticated green teas such as the famous Chinese Dragon Well blend or a Japanese Sencha, and rich black teas including Darjeeling and of course, Earl Grey. The menu also features oolong varieties from various mountaintop tea gardens in China, alongside aromatic herbal infusions such as Chamomile and Wild Rooibos. Each tea is expertly brewed to ensure a perfect-tasting experience, whether you prefer floral, smoky, or earthy notes.

Paired with the tea selection is an exquisite menu of gourmet small plates designed to complement both tea and wine. Freshly shucked Maldon oysters with Tabasco and lemon caviar, a British charcuterie board featuring venison chorizo and white pepper salami, and a selection of fine British cheeses are just a few of the highlights. Other standout options include Bang Bang Chicken Sliders in charcoal buns, crispy calamari with citrus aioli, and short rib croquettes with smoked anchovy aioli. For lighter indulgences, there are mini guacamole tacos or homemade hummus with paprika crisps, while the Imperial Gold Caviar served with blinis and sour cream adds a luxurious touch to the dining experience.

Masters of Food & Wine Series

The first Masters of Food & Wine event took place at Park Hyatt Carmel in 2003 and these immersive culinary experiences have now arrived at TAMISé . The inaugural event, taking place on 21st March, is in partnership with prestigious champagne house Billecart-Salmon. You can experience a five-course tasting menu crafted by TAMISé chef Michael Innocenti. Menu highlights include Jersey oysters with Oscietra caviar, paired with Champagne Le Reserve, Amalfi lemon risotto served alongside Champagne Le Blanc de Blancs and a crusted spring rack of lamb with morel mushrooms and wild garlic cream, a seasonal favourite complemented by Champagne Le Sous Bois. This culinary journey concludes with a ‘flower garden’ pavlova, served with ginger-poached rhubarb and rose water sorbet.

Priced at £229 per person, the event will be held in TAMISé’s elegant private wine cellar on Friday, 21 March from 7pm. With breathtaking views of the River Thames and limited seating available, this intimate setting is the ideal backdrop for an evening of gastronomic excellence. The Masters of Food & Wine series continues throughout the year, with further events scheduled for June, September and November, each offering a unique seasonal menu and wine pairing experience. Tickets for the March event are available here.
