Wine Tastings & Pop Ups
Wine Tastings
Our events usually take place on Fridays and, unless otherwise stated, start at 7pm. They centre around France and are a great way to learn more about wine in a relaxed and informal setting. All events are strictly limited in number. Ticket release dates are noted next to each event, and will be released at 10am on the release date through our newsletter. Any remaining tickets will go on general sale at 1pm.
Please note: ticket sales are final and are not refundable.
Our June event is a celebration of migration, showcasing some wonderful winemakers who now call France home.
We’ll be tasting a mixture of whites and reds, all from winemakers who have emigrated to France to follow their viticultural dreams!
Tour de Vin is a wine tasting along this year’s Tour de France route.
Episode 1 take places the day before the Grand Depart and focuses solely on white wines. Join us for one episode or both!

Love Orange Wine? Hate Orange Wine? Have no idea where to start with Orange wine?
Whichever camp you fall into, this is the tasting for you!
It’s back! War of the Rosés is a celebration of all shades of pink and an opportunity to rediscover rosé.
If you’re bored of drinking the same old rosés, this is the tasting for you.
It’s time for another wine and cheese night! This time, we’re focusing on the most misunderstood category of them all – sheep milk cheeses!
We’ll be tasting six cheeses, each one paired to a wine.
We’re taking big name wines and turning them on their head.
Think places like Champagne, Sancerre & Châteauneuf du Pape – but not as you know them.
