Our evenings are aimed at all levels of wine knowledge – from the absolute beginner to the experienced quaffer – no one is left out and no one is left uninterested. We feel that you can’t get better value for money, and our customers seem to agree with us!
Ticket price includes light buffet when the event takes place at the shop and is seated. All events (at the shop) begin at 7.00pm and finish at approximately 9.00pm. There is a 10% discount on all wine and beer purchases made on the evening. (Which is open to all products not just those tasted on the night).
There is no discount on spirits.
All tickets for tasting events must be paid for in full, in advance and, once purchased, all sales for ticketed tasting events are final, non refundable, non returnable and non transferable.
(You won’t need a physical ticket to attend an event, once we receive your booking information you will be added to our guest list).
