One Day Wine Tasting Courses & Experiences
Covid-19 Update – 10th September 2020
Over the Autumn/Winter we are hosting virtual wine tasting evenings which you can enjoy from the comfort of your home! You can book with an open-dated voucher or purchase a dated voucher online. We will send you a link to join the tasting on Zoom and send the wine samples to you a week before the event.
We hope to resume tastings in person as soon as the current law that limits group gatherings to 6 people is relaxed. If an event you have booked is cancelled we will contact you to let you know and issue you with a new open-dated voucher to use against another event on a future date. The voucher will be valid for 24 months from date of issue.
Join the experts at ThirtyFifty for a day of wine tasting to learn more about wine in a fun and informal environment. Our One Day Wine Courses are great value days out priced from £89 per person (including lunch) and are available in London, Bristol, Cardiff, Buckinghamshire and Cheshire. A full list of dates are below.
The day typically starts from 10.30am until 4.00pm with a delicious 3 course food & wine matching lunch and coffee in the afternoon. With both days we kick off with an introduction on how to taste wine and we taste 16 great quality wines from around the world including whites, reds, fizz and dessert wines.
Champagne & Fizz Tasting & Lunch £89
We have also introduced a Saturday tasting with champagne & sparkling wine and a three course lunch, for those who love to indulge in bubbles! You'll taste 10 sparkling wines including 3 champagnes to discover the different styles and find out which is your favourite fizz! The tasting and lunch is currently only available in London. The timings are from 11am until 3pm - for more info and dates, please visit Champagne Experiences.
