Questions
Frequently asked.
How long does a tasting last?
Most tastings run around 1.5–2 hours, but we’re flexible — longer or shorter works too.
How many people can attend?
Typically 6–14 people works best, but let us know what you’re thinking and we’ll make it work.
Do we need any wine knowledge?
Not at all. Tastings are designed to be relaxed and accessible for all levels.
Do you offer alcohol-free options?
Yes — just let us know in advance and we’ll plan it in.
Do you provide food?
We focus on the wine, but a few nibbles always go down well. Most hosts keep it simple with bread, cheese or sharing plates. Happy to suggest pairings if helpful.
