a hearty cheers from the wine training group at giggling grape

Great times with wine

Tasting Events

I love getting people together for a good time! Of course, assisted by delicious wines, and usually a bite to eat. Did anyone say champagne and crisps!?

As well as hosting events, I also do ‘just for you’ private tastings, often for celebrations, birthdays or hen parties, when you choose the wines, any food, and perhaps a theme; e.g. “big reds”, “local English” or “honeymoon country” wines.
