How it works

An evening we plan around you.

A summer garden wine tasting hosted by The Wine Shop — guests tasting at tables under a tree

Your own host, seven wines

Around two hours with one of our wine team pouring, storytelling and answering every question. Seven wines, tasted properly.

Built around your group

Tell us what you like and we'll build the line-up — a region, a theme, or a bit of everything, with non-alcoholic wine options for guests who aren't drinking.

In the shop or at yours

Take over the shop after hours, or we'll bring everything to your home or venue within 10 miles of Winscombe — glasses and printed tasting notes included either way.
