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 1985 - 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 1985 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
I just wanted to say what a fantastic evening my friends & I had last night. Carl was the perfect host...everybody said how good he was about explaining how to taste wine properly, why different wines tasted the way they did & explaining how champagne was made...really interesting. I had the most memorable 60th Birthday so a big thankyou to Carl for the presentation & for you for all the help along the way with organising.
I will definitely be recommending you to other friends.
Best wishes
Julie

Hi Jane
I just wanted to drop you a note to say we had a great night. Anissa was fantastic and managed to navigate our group through 7 lovely wines.
If you could pass mine and Helen’s thanks on to Anissa as Helen did not get chance to say goodbye.
All of our friends have texted today saying how much they enjoyed it and learned something.
Thank you again
Adrian
