Darren Colby Eddie Kilty
True luxury isn’t just about what is on the plate or in the glass—it’s about the experience and the energy in the room. With The Pinnacle partnership between Colby Wines and Kilty & Co you are bringing Chef, Eddie Kilty and Wine Director, Darren Colby into your home to host the ultimate interactive gastronomic event.
Eddie and Darren collaborate from the ground up, designing a tailored experience where food and wine are entirely intertwined. They completely reject dry lectures and rigid structures. Instead, they bring the theatre of high-end hospitality directly to your table – combining Eddie’s front-row culinary craftsmanship with our signature dual-philosophy wine pairings. Together, we will guide you through each masterfully crafted dish using two entirely different vinous perspectives to challenge, surprise and elevate every course.
From expert tableside storytelling and exceptional wit to seamless service, we take complete control of the evening. You don’t need to play host; your only job is to sit back, indulge, and let two passionate specialists take you on an immersive dining experience where you and your guests are the absolute centre of attention.

Q&A
-
Our private experiences are structured around The Elevation Series, which offers three distinct tiers depending on the style of your celebration:
Elements: A brilliant, exceptionally fun introduction to premium regions and varietals, perfect for lively milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or sophisticated hen and stag celebrations.
Horizons: A deeper, broader exploration of exquisite global terroirs, showcasing classic styles alongside fascinating hidden gems for a more adventurous tasting journey.
Pinnacle: Our ultimate luxury experience curated for private dinner parties and connoisseurs, featuring a hand-selected collection of prestigious, "Iconic" labels and world-class vintages.
-
Not at all. We bring the luxury and polished execution of a premium sommelier service directly to your doorstep. Your Personal Wine Director will arrive fully equipped with professional-grade glassware, custom tasting mats, and literature. We also provide meticulously selected gourmet food pairings—ranging from artisanal charcuterie and cheeses to bespoke canapés—designed to complement your tasting journey perfectly.
-
We believe food and wine should elevate one another, rather than compete. For our standard private tastings, we hand-select exceptional regional pairings—such as luxury artisan cheeses and charcuterie—designed to make the wines sing.
However, for our high-end, multi-course paired dining experiences with a private chef, we introduce our signature "Two Lenses" philosophy. Instead of the traditional "one dish, one wine" rule, we pour two contrasting or complementary styles of wine alongside a single dish. It creates an incredible interactive talking point for your guests, allowing everyone to actively explore how different textures and flavor profiles completely transform the palate.
-
While you will certainly pick up practical tips and fascinating facts, the evening is designed to be a relaxed, social, and memorable celebration. To keep things spirited and engaging, we weave a lively, bespoke Trivia Challenge with a prize into the session, introducing some fun, light-hearted competition to the night.
-
Yes, completely.
Because every private tasting is entirely tailored to your group, we seamlessly adapt the gourmet food pairings...s to accommodate any specific allergies, intolerances, or dietary preferences within your group.
Please just let us know your requirements at least 14 days in advance of your event so we can prepare a seamless menu. -
To secure your chosen date, a 50% deposit is payable within 14 days of the invoice date, with the remaining full balance due 14 days prior to your tasting. Bookings are fully refundable (minus a small admin fee) up to 14 days before the event. If plans change closer to the date, we offer flexible options to transfer the booking to an alternative date or allow you to send a substitute guest.
-
Basically, most of the North West. We are based in Liverpool, but we regularly travel across the Wirral, Cheshire, Lancashire, and North Wales to bring the tasting directly to you.
If you are a little further afield, just get in touch—we are always happy to travel for the right bottles.
