Tastings
Below you will find our diary of events for 2025:
Each month we invite a guest speaker and all the educators have either passed the Wines & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Diploma (the trade standard) or have a vast wealth of experience in the trade.
On a few occasions each year we have In-house tastings provided by some of our own members who have taken their hobby on to the next stage and completed the WSET Advanced level 3 or the WSET Diploma level 4 to become Wine Educators themselves and others who have also built up a wealth of experience. As a result, we are able to taste some of the more expensive and finer wines at these events.
Please note our meeting day is a Friday, doors open at 7.45.
