Online Wine Tasting

Join us for a fun and sociable wine tasting over Zoom without having to leave the comfort of your own home!

We have partnered with a local wine retailer to deliver 3 wines at a 15% discount so you can taste along. As soon as we see your booking we will send details for ordering the pack of wines together with resealing advice so you can return to them over subsequent days (you don't need to finish them in one day).

At our 1.5-hour educational session we give all the information you need to help you understand what you are tasting. As well as our fun educational insights, we use the power of Google Earth to fly you to the vineyards so you can better understand the influence of climate and we typically listen to short video clips of winemakers telling us how they make the wines. (Sometimes the winemaker themselves can join us on the call).

Plenty of time is given for questions and we usually finish with a fun interactive quiz, which you answer using your mobile phone, to help you retain what you have learned. 

Price: £24 for two or £16 for one.

Simply add to basket for two people using one device. For just one person, please use 'Redeem a Promotional Code' in the basket and enter the code: Online1 (this will reduce the price in your basket to £16).  

Here is our forthcoming programme. If you wish to book for two or more events simply add the additional date(s) to the basket before checking out. (You can use 'View all dates' above to open them all out).
