Event details
Virtual wine tasting
Join us for a tasting of top-quality wines from the comfort of your own home. This virtual tasting event will be hosted by Ed Wicks DipWSET via Zoom. Each of the four half bottles of wine has been carefully selected from The Little Fine Wine Company as examples of premium quality wines that express the diversity of sweet wines, highlighting different methods of production from sparkling wines to fortified. On the evening we will talk about the different grape varieties, winemaking techniques and locations of each wine as well as the story behind them, before tasting each sample together. Ed will be enjoying these wines with a mince pie and a wedge of stilton and encourages attendees to do the same.
How will it work?
- Upon booking you will receive an email requesting delivery details. You'll receive a pack of four different half bottles by post ahead of the tasting (see booking conditions below)
- Spaces will be limited to maintain the intimate feel of our in-person events, and so each person will have the opportunity to ask questions of the educator
- The tasting will last up to two hours
- You will receive printable tasting sheets and mats via email
- On the day of the tasting, or shortly before, you will receive an email with a Zoom link to join the events
- All you need is some wine glasses, a bottle opener, and a device with an internet connection
- Wine samples can be delivered to any mainland UK address, excluding Highlands and Islands. Unfortunately, samples cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland or outside of the UK
