Wine Tasting Evenings
We have been hosting our award-winning expert-led wine tasting evenings in London and Bristol for over a decade, and more recently in eight other locations - Cardiff, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Leicester. ThirtyFifty's wine tastings can be booked onto with open-dated gift vouchers which make a great birthday or Christmas gift or can be booked directly if you know which date you'd like to attend. The object of the wine tastings is to share our knowledge so that you can learn the important bits about wine to help maximise your wine drinking pleasure! You'll also meet like-minded wine drinkers and learn in a small group of up to 16 people in an informal setting.
Our wine tastings in London are held at Brasserie Blanc, 9 Belvedere Road, Southbank SE1 8YP and at Browns, 82-84 St Martin's Lane, Covent Garden WC2N 4AA. In Bristol we are at Browns Brasserie and in Cardiff we are at the Jurys Inn Hotel, Park Place, CF10 3UD, in Liverpool at the Jurys Inn Hotel, Keel Wharf, L3 4FN in Sheffield at The Milestone, Green Lane, S3 8SE and in Leicester at the City Rooms, Hotel Street LE1 5AW.
The evenings are priced at £39 per person and include antipasti or canapés served during the tasting. Please check below for forthcoming dates.
