At Quaff, we're all about opening bottles and getting glasses in hands. It's the best way for customers to buy wine; one taste is worth a hundred words. With this in mind, we hold tastings at all levels on an ongoing basis to help customers discover what they like. Please find an ongoing, regularly updated list of ticketed events below. The best way to find out about tastings, though, is to join our mailing list (in the column on the left of this page), and then you will be sent details as they come out.
We will also create bespoke events for private parties and corporate functions, so if you like what you see below and want your own version, please contact us for details on 01273 820320 .
A Champagne Extravaganza
Dates: 19/07/08
Back by popular demand! During the evening we taste seven wines (including a 'Best of the rest' option, which is one of England's finest bubblies). The aim is to show a range of styles and Houses, from Non-Vintage and lighter styles through Rosé to fuller Vintage styles and a Prestige Cuvée. We will explain how and why they're made, and offer pointers as to what to look for in each. This is a unique chance to try a line-up of excellent examples of each style, and take a glimpse behind the scenes of what remains the world's most glamourous wine. £30 each, 25 places available.
Location: The Shop, from 8.15pm
Fees: £30

An Evening of Pinot Noir.
Dates: 22/08/08
We take an extended look at this most hypnotic and teasing of varieties. Why is it that pinot noir gains so many loyal disciples among both winemakers and drinkers, yet so often offers up an expensive disappointment? How come some of our most sought after wines are made from pinot noir, and the planet's most expensive piece of agricultural land is planted with the variety, yet in many (even most) of the world's winemaking nations and regions, no-one bothers with the grape at all? We'll travel from California to Otago, from Santiago to Melbourne, in an attempt to unravel what it is that is so intoxicating and frustrating about Pinot Noir, ending where it all began - in Burgundy, in Central France. £25 each, 25 places only.

A Journey Through France.
Dates: 19/09/08
An opportunity to take a stroll through what remains arguably the world's greatest winemaking nation. France may justifiably have its detractors, but its wines remain the benchmark against which those of almost every other nation are compared. But what is the difference between Burgundy and Bordeaux? What types of wine are made in the Loire or the Rhone valleys, and why? We explain all of this, as well as visting one or two other corners such as Alsace and Champagne. In doing so we will demystify this most confusing yet most ultimately rewarding of winemaking countries. We'll also taste a range of to-die-for cheeses, locally produced in each region visited. £27.50 each including cheese, 25 places available.
