TASTINGS

Tutored Tastings

Come along for an hour and a half(-ish) worth of relaxation, expert chat and speed tasting through 10 selected wines from our range. No previous experience in wine tasting required. You will merely be asked to taste some delicious wines and listen a bit to us talk about them, nothing onerous. We will offer a £10 or 10% (whichever is greater) discount on any mixed case orders of ANY of our wines on the night. A great value night out if nothing else.

Sunshine tipples

Ten or so days of consistent sunshine and heat! Is everyone ok? Everyone remember their sun-cream? I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced such consistently glorious weather in this country and I hope everyone has made the most of it. Now, weather such as this only calls…

Bexit Bites

sounds like a new healthy snack consisting of a breaded, deep-fried outer shell filled with a weirdly pink sludge made from “mechanically recovered pig meat”, but no, it’s more of a product pickle (am I allowed to mention Richmond pork sausages here? Probably not). We…

Private Tastings

Fees and Costs- Private events are charged at £150 inc vat flat rate for a Host-Tutor for the evening. This is charged per event and is not dependent on number of participants. No maximum number of participants.Wines are charged at retail cost in addition. A good number of wines to try is 8-10 (12 is often beyond the capacity of mere mortals)

Snacks- If you would like a food vs wine element to the evening we can do snacks (Olives, Smoked Almonds etc) at the same time as the wines

Tasting Themes- can be along "Country" themes, but could be by "Grape Variety, Organic, Regional" etc. The choices are almost limitless. We are happy to suggest wines along your chosen theme.

Venues- We can suggest venues that can host wine tastings if you don't have a space in mind.

What we bring- We will bring the wines, glassware, tasting sheets, spitoons (often under-used) and considerable expertise and entertainment..
