Fine Wine Tastings £30+

Fine Wine Tastings are exclusive premium quality wine tastings – a rare opportunity to taste some of the best wines in the world. Some bottles are extremely rare and only produced in very limited quantities - the wines that the ‘super-rich’ have in their exclusive wine collections - often referred to as ‘Cult’ wines, ranging from £20 to over £350 per bottle. 

Our Fine Wine Premium tastings start at £30 typically with a minimum 6 wines on show served with hand-selected cheeses and small food dishes to accompany some of the wines. We are often lucky to be joined by winemakers and specialists such as MWs (Masters of Wine) who are passionate within their chosen field and we often run high-quality and extremely interesting vertical tastings (tasting the same type of wine from 6 different vintages) or horizontal tastings (tasting 6 different producers from one single vintage) 

The Fine Wine Tastings make a perfect gift to a lover of fine wine
