New adventures in food and wine
Experience wine and food in ways you couldn't do by yourself with a friendly and welcoming group of like-minded enthusiasts!
Our unique and exciting events are fun, very gently educational, and cover a balance of three categories:
Food-Led: A cookery skills demonstration at a catering college, or a game tasting paired with delicious wines
Wine-Led: A tutored tasting of one wine grape or wine region, to unique opportunities to sample some of the best wines in the world
Producer-Led: Connecting with local food producers and suppliers, e.g.
a butchery demonstration at a local farm
We also like to travel and organise discovery tours each year to fabulous wine and food regions. On recent trips we've visited Sicily, Jerez, the Mosel and Rheingau, and Rioja. We also organise mini-weekends to culinary hotspots.

A Journey Through the Rhone Valley
Wed 17 Jun 2026
Join us for a tasting of Rhone valley wines, the second largest AOP region in France.
We’ll be comparing and contrasting wines of different styles and quality levels from across the region. Following a glass of sparkling wine we’ll begin with a pair of white wines, one from the Northern Rhone and one from Southern Rhone. We’ll then move on to three reds from the Northern Rhone followed by three reds from the Southern Rhone. We’ll finish with a vin doux naturel, a muscat de Beaumes de Venise.
