'Drink less, drink better' is a message that your doctor will approve of. And it's definitely one we can get behind (though 'Drink the same, but better' works even better for us).
But how much better can you get? That's what we're going to explore with this tasting. We'll be cracking open some seriously posh bottles. The kind of thing that most of us are unlikely to indulge in except, perhaps, for the most special of special occasions. There will be famous names, prestigious regions with international name recognition, and more quality than you can shake a stick at. The Old World, unsurprisingly, will be well represented, but lovers of New World wines won't be forgotten either.

Definitely one to sign up early for - this always sells out quickly.
A celebration of how the classic British fish & chips is raised up to another level when paired with sparkling wine.
We'll be tasting three world class white sparklers, and three fantastic examples of pink fizz. To add to the fun we'll taste them blind, so our impressions aren't swayed by any 'big names'. After a vote to find the favourite wines of the night we'll be cracking open some bottles of the winners while we tuck in to our fish & chips from the always excellent Dovehouse Fish Bar

From light, subtle reds to the deepest, most structured heavyweights, the world’s great red wines are built on a handful of classic grape varieties. In this tasting we’ll explore the eight most important red grapes—the ones that define regions, shape styles, and underpin the bottles most of us reach for again and again.
Across eight wines, we’ll dive into what makes each variety tick: its signature flavours, the regions where it shines brightest, and how winemakers coax out such different personalities from the same fruit. Expect a tour through the Old World and New, from elegant, perfumed styles to bold, full‑bodied expressions—each chosen to showcase the grape at its best.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your palate, understand your own preferences, or simply enjoy a relaxed evening of great wine, this is a brilliant foundation for anyone who loves red.

Crisp, lush, aromatic, textured, or mineral—white wines offer extraordinary diversity, and it all starts with the grape. In this tasting we’ll explore eight essential white varieties, each chosen for its global significance and stylistic range.
From the steely precision of Riesling to the creamy depth of Chardonnay, we’ll taste our way through benchmark examples that highlight what each grape does best. Expect a mix of classic regions and modern interpretations, with wines that span the spectrum from bone-dry to richly textured.
This is a brilliant tasting for anyone curious about white wine—whether you’re a Sauvignon Blanc loyalist, a Chenin enthusiast, or just keen to understand what makes these grapes so versatile and expressive.
