Introduction
Join us with your team for an evening of tasting choice wines, selected especially for you and your team’s personal enjoyment. No wine knowledge is required, as we provide that too! A lovely way to un-wine-d.
Event Outline
After entering the room, guests will be shown to their seats and presented with the wines that were chosen for the evening (we recommend 4-7 different wines) for your discovery. Our wine expert will lead the guests each wine with some information on the vineyard that each wine came from.
This event is easily moulded to fit any requirements that you have, if there is a theme that you would like to follow then we are more than happy to follow the theme. Similarly, if you would like us to provide some blind tasting or put in a competitive edge then we would be obliged.
There is an ever-growing wine selection to choose from so we typically choose from these three categories:
Wine Picks – Our personal selection of the best bottles from the finest vines.
New World Wines – Contemporary and fresh new wines from innovative winemakers around the globe.
Fine Wine – Depending on your budget and preferences we can provide fantastic wines from award-winning vineyards.
Recommended as an evening event.
