We offer three signature corporate formats designed specifically for business environments:

• Corporate Wine Experiences: Perfect for corporate hospitality, launch parties, or office socials. A vibrant, engaging wine tasting designed to break the ice and bring guests together over a curated selection of 5–6 premium wines. Fully flexible for your venue with a choice of Classic Sit-Down (10+ guests) or Walk-Around station-style tasting (20+ guests).

• Corporate Team Building: Designed for internal team building and morale boosting (6–20 guests). This high-energy session focuses on collaboration and light-hearted competition, offering a choice between a Blind Tasting Challenge or a Wine Blending Challenge.

• Corporate Executive Dining: A sophisticated, seated fine dining masterclass perfect for high-level client hospitality, board meetings, and executive entertainment (6–40 guests). Co-hosted by our Wine Director and partner Executive Chef Eddie Kilty, this format offers a multi-course tasting menu paired with 7 rare, iconic wines.

Our foundational philosophy is strictly "anti-textbook." We firmly reject dry lectures, confusing jargon, and pretentious presentation.

Instead, our sessions are designed to be factual, highly engaging, and above all, fun.

By sharing captivating human stories and insider viticulture knowledge, we give everyone a backstage pass to the wine world.

Whether your guests are complete novices or seasoned collectors, we ensure every individual feels included, at ease, and confident navigating a fine wine list.

Absolutely!

We specialise in seamless brand integration, tailoring every session to act as an authentic extension of your corporate identity.

We routinely incorporate your company logo and visual branding onto high-quality, printed tasting brochures.

Beyond visual branding, we tailor our presentation narrative and storytelling to echo your event's core business themes, key company milestones, or strategic goals.

We offer total logistical flexibility—no external venue required.

We bring the entire vineyard experience directly to your boardroom, executive suite, foyer, or open-plan office anywhere across Liverpool, Merseyside, the Wirral, Cheshire, and the wider North West.

We handle all logistics, professional glassware, and setup. Alternatively, if you prefer an off-site experience, we can coordinate and host your event at one of our premier partner venues across the region.

We bring our experiences directly to you across Liverpool and the North West.

While based in Liverpool, we regularly host corporate wine tastings in boardrooms, offices, and commercial venues throughout Liverpool, the Wirral, Cheshire, Lancashire, and the wider North West.

For national corporate functions or multi-office events, we can also travel across the wider UK upon request.

Remarkably little.

We provide the premium glassware, chilled wines, tasting mats, spittoons, perfectly timed gourmet pairings, and expert hosting.

All we require from your venue is clear table space for your guests and access to water.
We handle the entire setup and post-event cleanup seamlessly, leaving your corporate space exactly as we found it.

Absolutely!

Every corporate experience is entirely tailored to your schedule.

Whether you require a high-energy 45-minute icebreaker ahead of a company dinner or an immersive 2-to-3-hour evening of executive client entertainment, we structure the pacing and presentation flow to align seamlessly with your itinerary.

Inclusion is central to our philosophy, and no one gets left out of the experience.

We seamlessly integrate premium, sophisticated non-alcoholic wine and spirit alternatives into the flight for non-drinking guests.

Because our events focus on interactive storytelling, flavor dynamics, and engaging team competition, non-drinking guests enjoy the exact same high-energy, inclusive experience.
