Bespoke Wine Tastings
We host Wine Tastings for corporate events & private parties… with or without our Bubble Box… at your home or venue of choice… for any sized group of at least 12 guests. So email or call us to discuss your bespoke Wine Tasting event.
We charge £35/hour to host a blind wine tasting teaching your guests how to taste wine as well as being able to identify the country & grape etc. Additionally we offer the option of bringing paired artisan cheeses supporting another independent business ‘The Cheese Locker’ (a selection of 5-6 artisan cheeses costs £3 per head)
Free of charge, we bring all the wine glasses, ice buckets and tasting note materials for each person, guests need 6 glasses each in front of them (£1/glass fully refundable deposit when returned washed/unbroken)
You decide how many different wines would you like? (we suggest 6-12 as you prefer) Which styles of wine would you like? Sparkling, whites, rose, reds, dessert, fortified, certain countries etc. We need at least 2 of each style to do a side by side comparison in a blind tasting to learn more about them e.g. 2 sparkling, 2 white, 2 red, 2 port
You decide your budget per bottle? Bear in mind 1 bottle serves 12 tasting samples, so ideally you want to sell tickets or invite guests in multiples of 12 to make the most out of opening the second bottles, once you go over 12 guests you want to aim for 24 or 36
We offer all your guests an extra 10% discount off any bottles they may wish to purchase on the night and we have a card reader to smoothly facilitate payments
Example costs & ticket selling prices for you: 6 different wines averaging £15/bottle totals £90. Divided by 12 guests is £7.50 cost per head, plus £3 cost per head for paired cheeses totals £10.50 cost per head on wine & cheese. As well as £35/hour for hosting for 1hr30 with 45 minutes either side to set-up and clear away, totals £105 divided by 12 people is £8.75/head or by 24 people is £4.38/head. So anything above £14 minimum or £19 maximum you sell tickets for is your profit to keep. Therefore we recommend you sell tickets per guest £15-£20 to break-even or £20-30 depending on how much you'd like.
