Christmas Wine Gifts & Experiences in Manchester

Gifts for those looking for...Enjoyment

• Sparkling Wine Tastings: Lots of corks will be popping over the festive season, but here’s a chance to find out that fizz is for far more than festivities – and that there’s bubbly life beyond Prosecco and Champagne (from £45)
• An Array of Robust Reds: For some people, the first task of any wine is to be red. This is the tasting for them – seven wines of varying degrees of robusticity, with some cheese to soak up those tannins. PS white wine fans, there’s also something for you  (from £45)
• Your own Bespoke Tasting: We do dozens of private tastings each year in and around Manchester, for groups ranging in size from under 10 to 50+. Let us know what you’re looking for – Birthday Surprise, Fine Wine Extravaganza, Family Get-Together and so on – and we’ll tailor-make a tasting just for you (contact us for pricing)

Gifts for those looking for...Extravagance

• Wine and Chocolate Tasting: An afternoon of indulgence looking at two of the finer things in life. We started describing this to someone and they stopped us a few words in – “You had me at Wine & Chocolate...” (£45)
• Saturday Wine Tasting with Lunch: A friendly, fun and informal day in Manchester for wine lovers of all levels of experience, with an array of 10+ tasty wines and a great Malmaison lunch (from £105)
• Wine and Cheese Pairing: Six wines + six cheeses = a formula for a great evening. Or afternoon. We run several each year, and we have a number of customers who come for one and then keep coming back for more – join us and find out why! (from £45)
  PS - we have an event for vegans too - check it out...

Gifts for those looking for...Enlightenment

• Scaling the Wall of Wine: a brand new tasting that addresses the topic we’re asked about most often at our events – “How do you know what’s good and what’s bad in the supermarket?” (£35)
• Masterclasses: A chance to take an in-depth look at, as someone once said, “the finest wines available to humanity.” We currently have sessions in Manchester on Piedmont, the Rhône Valley and Sparkling Wine in the calendar, and more will be added very soon (from £45)
• A WSET Course: Your chance to do some serious study, and in the process received a globally recognised qualification. Essential for many roles in the wine/hospitality trades, but a large proportion of our students are just regular people who love wine (from £175)

And if in doubt…
