TASTINGS
Wine tasting with a group of friends can be a laugh and can be personalised for you. They work as a great precursor to a lunch or dinner or as the main event of an evening of catching up.
Here are a few ideas to get you thinking but please don’t hesitate to drop us a line if you need any more info.
Tastings range in price from £35-75 per person and beyond. They tend to go for about 2 hours and typically include 8-10 different wines chosen to suit your needs.
We can come to you or arrange a venue in an area of your choice.
