Wine Tasting ideas for 40th Birthday Parties
Reaching 40 is one of the biggest milestones in our lives and definitely a cause for celebration. Our Birthday wine tasting parties at home make for a memorable 40th birthday celebration for the wine lovers among us, spent in the company of friends and family, enjoying good wine and food. If you are planning a surprise party for your other half we can help organise the wine tasting as part of the birthday party celebrations or we can provide a gift voucher for a wine tasting at home for the birthday boy or girl on a future date. For an unusual birthday gift we can organise a special wine from the year of birth 1984 - a vintage wine for a vintage birthday!
40th Birthday Wine Tasting Parties
It's sometimes tricky coming up with exciting and original birthday party ideas for friends and family, especially the first really big one - a 40th Birthday! But a wine tasting party can be the perfect way to add a fun twist to traditional celebrations, especially if the person celebrating is a huge fan of wine.
Whether you are arranging the event for yourself, your wife/husband, partner or friend we have a range of tastings to suit the occasion. Our tastings are affordably priced, from £35 per person with a minimum of 12 guests. The Classic Birthday Party Tasting is a great all-round tasting or we can tailor the tasting to suit your preferences. To see the different tasting options check out our Birthday Tasting Parties page.
Birthday Venue Ideas
We have hosted wine tastings in all sorts of locations, but many birthday parties tend to be held at home to create a more intimate and relaxed occasion. Alternatively venues such as hotels and restaurants are lovely settings for special birthdays, or perhaps a hired house or cottage in the country for family and friends getting together.
If you need help with selecting a venue do ask us, we have a large database of venues we have used in the past and can recommend.
40th Birthday Gifts
Wine and Wine tastings can make a brilliant gift. We run a number of wine tasting evenings and days in the UK that you can buy tickets or gift vouchers for. If you are thinking of buying a special bottle of wine, we can supply vintage wine from 40 years ago.
Wine Tasting Gift Vouchers
We have a range of wine tastings guests can attend. Options include a One Day or Evening wine tastings and our weekend wine tasting breaks including a full day's wine tasting and meals.
40 year old Vintage Wines for a Vintage Birthday
To put the icing on the cake why not include a vintage wine. Many wines from 1984 are tasting remarkably good. Bordeaux wines and Penfolds Grange are still drinking well after 40 years, and some vintage Champagnes such as Dom Perignon can be a real surprise. 40 year old Port is great at this age and Madeira is only just starting to taste really good! Sweet white wines from Germany and France are a real treat. Prices for these wines typically range between £100 to £300+ and make a perfect present or extra special treat at a wine tasting. Talk to us about what is currently available and suitable.
Birthday Tasting Testimonials
Some feedback from our birthday tastings...

Hi Jane,
Thank for running a lovely, memorable evening last Saturday, we all had a thoroughly enjoyable time. You pitched the commentary spot on, with just the right mix of technical and less formal information to fit with the mixed level of expertise in the room - a very neat trick to pull off.
A very minor observation, one or two people would have been happy to run a slightly quicker through one or two of the wines, perhaps overlapping the conversation and the tasting a bit more - but I think this is probably unavoidable with a mixed group of 20 people and certainly not a critisism.
Thanks for the tasting notes and I've subscribed to your podcast too. I couldn't see anywhere to leave comments on your website but would be very happy to record a 5 star review if I've missed the link or you use any of the other review platforms, please just let us know.
Regards
Alan
