I’m wishing you all of the above and more in 2019!

To help you achieve this we have a fantastic membership programme, called Bon Vivants.

10 years ago I started Tastour with the aim to create a club in London where people could come together and share foodie experiences. 600 events later and we have a successful recipe.

What is a Bon Vivant?

It’s a top secret club, which has been operating underground. Events are arranged via WhatApp with no involvement of the Tastour website or meetup – just a group of people with a thirst to explore together.

How it works:

1. Bon Vivant members join through http://tastour.com/member-registration/

2. Then joins the WhatsApp group and signs up to one of the many events already planned or…

3. A member suggest an event with the date, time, location and price

4. When 2 or more people express interest, the member creates a doodle poll to find a mutual date.

5. The host makes the booking, buys the tickets and sets up a private group just for that event for people to discuss the details.

Special Interest WhatsApp Groups include:

Cocktails & Co.

Secret bars, high end hotels, pop ups and immersive experiences or off the beaten track can be arranged in this group. The only requirement is handmade syrups and a signature list.

Pubs & Pints

From an after work quick half to a day at a festival, craft beer and real ale is what this group is all about. From Gastropubs to traditional Fireplaces and Pub lunches with walks (possibly even in the countryside) this group is for meeting in true English style.

£100 Lunch Club

For those that would like to explore top restaurants but at the reduced lunch price. Expect the bill with wine and service to be around £100. (Might be more or less) This group isn’t for deal seekers, its for experience seekers.

Market & Stalls

For inviting others to events that has local people selling their crafts… be it food or art.

Come Dine with Me Dinner Parties

Hosted in the home of a member, each guest is asked to ‘bring and share’ one course and a matching wine. Members are happy to help with what wine to bring, and you do not need to host in order to attend. As long as you make an effort with your food and wine. (Suggested byo wine price is £15-30)

LIVE Performaces

From Jazz to out door theatre and talks to walks, here members get together and organise fantastic gigs…

RECIPE swaps

Share a tested recipe link, with photos of your creation with a group of budding chefs.

ESCAPE Room Comrades

Join our international team of code crackers. The clock is ticking!
