Private Wine Tasting

Are you planning an anniversary, birthday, engagement or hen party and want something different to do?

Wine tasting is a great way to get friends and family to gather for a relaxed, fun, yet informative evening… and a perfect excuse to drink wine!

We provide fun, informal events in a relaxed, social environment so that you can learn a bit more about wine, try a variety of wines (possibly some you’ve never even heard of) and acquire new wine tasting skills. It can be fun to compare inexpensive wines to premium wines and you’ll love using all your senses to try to work out the different aromas, tastes and styles of the wine. It’s certainly an occasion to be remembered!

All of our wine tastings are pitched at a level to ensure everyone learns something new and has a good time while doing it. We can include fun quizzes to give everyone the opportunity to interact and adapt themes and wine choices for your occasion.

We don’t sell wine directly so our wine tastings are all about the wines not about what we want to sell to you!

Below are examples of three different options, but if you’d like to discuss a bespoke wine tasting we will be more than happy to talk to you further.

We enjoyed a great evening of wine and cheese with Rowena and Hari Covert. This was a well run and fun evening with a delicious selection of products with excellent information about each wine and cheese. I would definitely recommend a future visit

— Alison Ede

Rowena is very knowledgeable regarding wine. Choosing wine can feel awkward when you don’t know enough but this event is both fun and has an educational purpose too. Lots of interest from everyone there
