An Exceptional Customisable Virtual Wine Tasting

Host an elegant, fun, and highly interactive virtual wine tasting experience that brings people together — no matter where they are. Ideal for client entertainment, team building, or special celebrations, this online wine tasting is hosted live by a professional sommelier who will guide your group through a handpicked selection of wines.

Each wine tasting online session is designed to be engaging and accessible, whether your guests are new to wine or seasoned enthusiasts. Your sommelier will explain tasting techniques, explore the wines’ backgrounds, and encourage conversation throughout. The experience is designed to foster interaction, spark curiosity, and deliver a relaxed, social atmosphere.

Choose from three preset tasting menus to suit your event’s style and budget  or we can create a completely custom wine tasting menu just for your group. For an added touch of indulgence, an optional cheese or chocolate pairing can be included.

This event format is ideal for virtual team socials, holiday parties, client appreciation events, and more. 

Delivery is available both domestically and internationally, and the format is fully customisable to meet your goals.
