Stag and Hen Parties 

We regularly hold bespoke events for stag and hen parties of between 7-18 people, but can create an event to any budget.  We typically hold our tastings here at the shop, but again, we will will travel if the wish is to hold the event at a private venue.   In general the idea with these occasions is to keep it very lighthearted and straightforward, as the likelihood is that in a mixed group there will be a broad cross-section of experience levels.  We find that our Eight Great Grapes tasting (below) is very popular as an introductory level tasting, but there are several events below to offer as examples:

Eight Great Grapes - £22 per head, with a minimum of 9 people.  Approx. 2 hours.

 The purpose of this evening is to show eight major grape varieties, four white and four red, most of which that can be found on any restaurant list or in any shop. Hopefully in introducing these varietals, their histories, where they’re grown and why they’re grown there, it will be possible for you to come to some sort of idea about which you like and why! We’ll taste a benchmark example of each variety, find out what characterises them, and also talk about what might make a good food match with each wine.

A Journey Through France - £28 per head, with a minimum of 9 people.  Approx. hours.

We will guide you through a nation whose wines delight many and confuse even more!  Starting with champagne and finishing in Bordeaux, we'll take you through the iconic French wine regions and look at why they became so famous.  Tasting 8 wines, the aim is to demystify the regions, to explain their wines in straightforward terms and hopefully to introduce you to their secrets.

 Champagne/Sparkling Extravaganza - £35-£40 per head, 9 people minimum.  Approx 2 hours.  

A once-in-a-lifetime event!  We'll start by showing you the best of the rest of the world, and then kick into Champagne itself, where we'll show you a range of styles including rosé, blanc de blancs, non vintage, vintage and even a prestige cuvée (such as Dom Perignon or Cristal).  A very rare opportunity to be guided through a range of champagnes, lined up side by side.

We will also create  a quiz format, do 'Call My Bluff' events, and interactive tastings, to add spice and interest.  Should you wish to know more about this service, please contact us at 01273 820320 or at sales@quaffit.com.
