Join us for a fantastic evening tasting fine wines, and meeting fine people. You’ll enjoy an evening of socialising and an hour of interactive wine education. We make learning about wine fun SOCIAL, entertaining, so expect a lot humour, fun facts, story telling and mixing with like minded people.
The theme this month is the Do’s and Don’ts of Wine Tasting…. Don’t miss it!
Event Details:
Each month is a new learning theme… Get a quick fix and learn a thing or two about wine with Tastour.

At this tasting you’ll learn the difference between the classic wine regions, plus a few fun nuggets to share at your next dinner party.

What’s included:
You’ll enjoy a presentation on three fine wines, from different regions. The wines will be of exceptional quality. The price of the wine if purchased at a restaurant would be between £12-17 per 125ml glass, depending on the wines selected. You will receive 125ml of wine.
The formal part of the guided tasting will last around 45 minutes with some socialising mixed in, however, many guest will continue to network throughout the evening.
You will leave this event, feeling well educated and hopefully a few new friends to explore London with.
Time: The doors open for check-in at 6:30 pm. The tasting starts at 7:00pm and ends at 8:30pm. However, most people stay on for a bit of social and drink after the tasting. We often go out dancing afterwards, so just ask if you are interested.
Venue:
Walrus and Carpenter
The Walrus and The Carpenter takes its name from a poem by Lewis Carroll. The verse is recited by Tweedledum and Tweedledee in ‘Through The Looking Glass’. We stand in the shadow of history, in view of The Monument to commemorate the Great Fire of London. The column’s height marks the distance to the site of Thomas Farynor’s bakery in Pudding Lane where the fire began.
