Wine Tastings
We often host private and corporate tastings. These are completely tutored to your needs, recent tastings have included: Right Bank Vs Left Bank Bordeaux, California vs Rest of the World and purely Champagne. We can accommodate 8-12 people, with 10 being the perfect number, as one can sit comfortably around the same table, the shop can also be totally cleared to accommodate 40 people standing. The shop will be closed for your tasting from 7.30 p.m. onwards, be it 2 hours or 5 hours.
The price for these tastings start at a minimum of £1000 and for this you will get around five pairs of wines, with each pair increasing in quality and price. The food offering is obviously second to the wine, but rest assured you will not leave hungry. A selection of cured hams will be provided along with an assortment of cheeses and breads from Sally Clarke’s. We normally finish off with cupcakes from The Cupcake Company and a glass of Champagne.
Unlike other companies we do not charge you for our time or the use of the shop, the money spent on the tasting will go purely into the wine and food. Thus you will be able to taste some fantastic wines as £1000 for the tasting is equivalent to £900 of wine off the shelf. This, of course, means you get particularly good value as the same wines enjoyed in a restaurant would most likely cost 3 or 4 times the amount.
For the more academic minded we also have a tasting panel of renowned and multi-award winning wine writers such as Andrew Jefford and Michael Schuster who are available at their standard day-rate.
