Tastings for your team or your guests, wherever suits you, plus a helping hand with collaborative events. Relaxed, friendly and never stuffy.
Every tasting is built around the people in the room. It might follow one region or one style, or start from the bottles you keep going back to.
I want everyone to feel at ease asking questions and saying what they notice, with no wrong answers. I add the context, a few good stories and some practical tips, so each glass tells you a little more.
We can pair the wines with food, pitch the tasting at any level of knowledge, and make it as relaxed and social, or as structured and educational, as you like.
Good wine and good conversation, with the odd ‘so that’s why’ moment.
Choose the nearest fit, or tell me what you have in mind and we’ll shape it together.
A private tasting for your team or your clients, relaxed enough to enjoy and interesting enough to talk about afterwards. We pick a theme together, or build the evening around wines you want to try, and I take care of the rest.
A tasting for friends and family, whether it’s a few of you round the kitchen table or a celebration in full swing. Follow a theme, or start from the wines you already love.
One theme, taken further: Champagne and sparkling wines, Old World against New World, or a single region followed glass by glass. I bring the context and the stories, and we go at the pace your group sets.
Structured, practical wine training for your team. We taste, compare and put words to what is in the glass, so nobody has to bluff at the next client dinner. I build the content around your team and what they need.
I can host or moderate your wine event, whether it’s a dinner, a launch or a collaborative evening. I keep the conversation easy and the wine at the centre, with or without food.
Tell me about your group, the occasion and roughly when you have in mind. A few lines are plenty.
I write back with a proposal that fits your guests, your aims and the mood you’re after.
We settle the theme and the wines together: a region, a style, or bottles you already love.
I host the tasting and share the context and stories as we pour. All you have to do is enjoy it.
It depends on the format, the number of guests and the wines. Tell me your plans in the form below and I’ll send a proposal.
At your workplace, at home or at another venue you like. I’m in London, so that’s simplest, but if you’re elsewhere, say so in your enquiry and we’ll talk it through.
No, and nobody gets quizzed at the door. I pitch every tasting at the knowledge in the room, and questions are always welcome.
Yes, with pleasure. Name a region, a style or a favourite bottle, and that becomes the theme.
Yes, happily. Tell me what you plan to serve, or ask me for pairing ideas.
The practical details, glassware included, so the tasting runs smoothly.
Both depend on the format and the venue. Tell me how many people you expect and how much time you have, and I’ll build the proposal around you.
Choose ‘Other’ in the form and describe it; I like a new idea. For wine content, articles or brand collaborations, see ‘Work with me’.
Tell me about your group and the occasion, and pick the format that comes closest. A proposal will follow.
Your enquiry has reached me. I’ll reply to the email address you gave.
