Jack captioned his upload: "Had a lovely weekend celebrating @fatherwhitehall birthday!"
Discussing Michael and Hilary's move to the country last year, Jack told the Daily Mail: "He has moved out to the country and lives near Banbury, but he thinks Banbury sounds a bit common, so he insists on calling it the North Cotswolds."
Michael previously revealed his love of wine started after the couple bought their first home in Putney, which included a huge cellar.
He told Metro: "It was a detached Victorian house with a spectacular staircase that looked like something out of Hogwarts, a big garden and best of all, an even bigger wine cellar.

With the aid of his Jackpot Productions firm, the hardworking comic is putting together a huge celebrity-filled variety-style extravaganza.
A TV source said: “Christmas takes on a new meaning when you have children of your own, so it makes perfect sense for Jack to look at a festive show of his own too.
“The Jackpot team have been briefed to fill it with lots of laughs, silly sketches and celeb performances — sort of like Saturday Night Live in the US but with a lovely festive flourish. Plans are under way and Jack is chatting to a number of channels to find the format a home.
“He has worked with Prime Video and Netflix in the past and both feel like good platforms for the holiday high jinks."
