Thanks for a wonderful time! The wine tasting really got the evening off to a great start, and made everyone very merry! It was totally unstuffy, relaxed and great fun. And a lovely balance of entertainment and information.

Thanks so much for the wine tasting party. Everybody thought you were excellent and pitched it brilliantly. The majority who wanted to learn did, and those who just wanted a great time had one - so a big thank you.

An introduction to wine tasting

This is a great wine tasting for all kinds of occasions and numbers – from small parties to large groups. It helps you really get started in the world of wine, or develop your current knowledge, in a light-hearted way. Blind tastings, aroma games, and all sorts of other in-house tricks make sure it's all very relaxed, and we guarantee there's plenty of entertainment, as well as information.

Pit your wits against friends, family, or colleagues, and indulge yourselves in our fantastic wines!

Whites, reds, champagne, sparkling wine, and fortified - a wide range to enjoy.
