Wine Tastings - free of charge

We hold regular free wine tastings at our premises. These tastings are very informal and relaxed, there is no presentation - you can turn up any time during the tasting and stay for as long or little as you like. We normally taste at least six wines and there are nibbles to enjoy as well. No booking is required but it is helpful to let us know you intend to come along, especially if you are a group of 4 or more. If you receive our newsletters you will get details of the wines to be tasted a few days before the event; to subscribe click here. These tastings are a great opportunity to try our wines before you buy. Tastings dates are:

  • Thursday 26 April 2018 - 5.30pm to 7.30pm
  • Wednesday 23 May 2018 - 5.30pm to 7.30pm

Masterclasses - £40 to £60 per person

We offer Masterclasses for small groups of people who are interested in furthering their knowledge of wine and spirits. These courses normally run for 90 minutes on a weekday evening and usually focus on a region, wine type or producer - prices include tuition, wines and cheese, paté & biscuits. You will be seated at our tasting tables while a wine educator presents to the class. Booking is required. If you can make up your own group of 8 or more people we will design a Masterclass to your specification.

Wine Appreciation Course - £200 per person 

We run a five week course for beginners to wine appreciation. The course is run on the same weekday evening for 5 consecutive weeks with each session lasting 75 minutes. The price includes tuition, wines and nibbles for the whole course. This is a great way to build your confidence in wine knowledge and selection. Please contact us for more details and to reserve your place on the next course.

Private Tastings

We can organise tasting events either at our premises or at a venue of your choice. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and the costs involved. Services we can offer include wine advice and supply, wine presenters, tasting glasses and flutes, spitoons, ice buckets and food matching advice. In the past we have organised tasting events for private parties, charities, wine clubs, social clubs and businesses. We can refund part of the tasting costs if sales on the night achieve certain levels.
