Private Tastings

Organising a special occasion or birthday, looking for a sophisticated Hen or Stag night activity? Looking for an alternative and fun way to entertain or spend time with friends?

Wine tasting parties are a fun and increasingly popular way to celebrate, creating a relaxed atmosphere and an activity for all the guests to enjoy. The wine tasting can also act as a perfect icebreaker as friends get to know each other - plus the wine is guaranteed to keep the party flowing!

We've hosted hundreds of private wine tastings all over the UK, and pride ourselves in providing fun, unstuffy events suitable for anyone looking to have a great time in the company of good friends and good wine!

Private wine tasting events can be hosted at your home, our own venue, or at a location of your choice - we can recommend local venues to suit any party size or budget. We can also organise, if required, venues that include dinner cooked by top local chefs.

Give yourself the VIP treatment with our Private Wine Tasting experience!

Every event begins with a quick introduction to wine tasting to break the ice, help everyone relax and ensure that everyone feels included and able to participate.

We always keep the emphasis on having fun in a relaxed social environment - if you learn a bit more about wine in the process, thats an added bonus! You will definitely acquire new wine-tasting skills and perhaps try something you never thought that you would like at the same time!

We are the UKs leading provider of wine tastings - just see what some of our customers think on TRIP ADVISOR

We usually advise a minimum party size of 10-12 for cost reasons. We can offer advice on themes and wines if you wish, or source wines to suit your own preference. Prices vary depending upon location, numbers, and of course the type of wine, but start from as little as £15 per head.

You will sample at least 6 different quality wines and compare them side by side and you can also include Champagne. We always include a rapid introductory session on how to taste wine - explained in a no-nonsense practical way - and we can introduce our aroma phial kits, a box of wine-related aromas that are a uniquely inventive test of your sensory skills in a way that provides entertainment and interest. You can choose from a number of our most popular options including

  • Classic Wine Tasting
  • Champagne/Sparkling Wine Tasting
  • Cheese & Wine Pairing
  • Fine/Rare Wine Tasting

All of these Tastings can also be run as Wine Quizzes - your wine host will present a series of wines to deduce the identity of - this provides a focus for the guests and ample opportunity to collaborate and interact. For each wine the guests will receive helpful and objective coaching from the wine host enabling them to have a good chance at guessing the wine.

Our wine tastings are entertaining and good fun, pitched at a level that ensures all the guests learn something new about wine and, most importantly, have a great time doing so.

Charities/Fund-raisers

We have also hosted hundreds of fund-raising wine tastings, & have loads of ideas to help you raise that much-needed cash for local & national charities.

 

What our customers say...

Many thanks for sending the extract from your excellent presentation at last Saturday's most enjoyable and informative 'Wine Experience'.

We had a memorable day and do appreciate how you shared your wide knowledge and obvious enthusiasm without ever being condescending.

The group was the right size and composition, resulting in the constructive participation and useful discussion that you encouraged.

I have been singing your praises to family and friends since and wish you continued success. My apologies for this tardy acknowledgement.

Kind regards,

Roger, Guest
