The Tasting Table
Wine Tastings, Wherever You Are
The Tasting Table brings relaxed, sociable wine tastings directly to you. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a hen party, hosting a corporate get-together, gathering your wine club, or simply looking for a brilliant excuse to bring friends together, we create a fun and memorable wine experience wherever you are.
We arrive with the wines, glassware, tasting notes, and plenty of stories to share. You just gather your people, pour a glass, and enjoy the evening. Expect beautiful bottles, a few surprises, and plenty of laughter along the way.
The best part? We can set up almost anywhere — your living room, garden, Airbnb, office, holiday cottage, or wherever your group has decided to gather. If there’s a table and a group of people ready to taste, we’re good to go.
The Experience
Every Tasting Table event is a little different. Some groups want a relaxed evening discovering new wines, others want a sparkling start to a celebration, and some simply want a table full of glasses and a host who knows their way around a great bottle.
Our tastings usually include a carefully chosen flight of wines, a mix of still and sparkling favourites, a few delicious nibbles, and plenty of conversation along the way. We can lean into local English wines, celebrate sparkling styles, or simply explore bottles that are too good not to share.
Guided Wine Tastings
A tasting experience you’ll actually remember.
All local, all artisan, all about having a good time. Choose from several hand-picked vineyards, each with its own personality, views, and incredible wines. Whether you’re in the mood for something easy and informal or you want to dive a little deeper, we’ve got you covered.
Build your perfect tasting: sip your way through casual flights with friends, or explore full ranges of wines with guided, in-depth stories behind each bottle. Want something light and social? Done. Prefer a more detailed, sensory journey? Absolutely.
Every group is different — so tailor the whole experience to your crowd. Pick your vineyard, pick your style, and we’ll make sure the vibe matches your day. Relaxed, fun, memorable… just the way wine should be.
Pairing Experiences
Get ready for the most delicious kind of mix-and-match.
This playful pairing experience brings together your favourite local wines with the tastiest artisan treats around — creamy cheeses, mouth-watering charcuterie, seasonal nibbles, and all the little surprises that make tasting extra fun.
You’ll sip, snack, and discover how different flavours spark off each other. Maybe that crisp white suddenly pops with a tangy cheese, or a bold red becomes your new best friend when paired with perfectly cured meats. It’s part tasting, part exploring, part “wow, try this!”
No rules, no fuss — just a relaxed adventure in flavour where curiosity is encouraged and every group discovers their own favourite combos. Tailor it to your crowd, settle in with good company, and let the wine + food magic unfold.
Fun, local, tasty — and seriously memorable.
Hampers
Discover the Chilterns in a box.
Our artisan hampers bring together the very best of local English wine and small-batch Chiltern producers. Each hamper is thoughtfully curated with handpicked bottles from independent vineyards, complemented by beautifully crafted regional products — from award-winning cheeses and charcuterie to seasonal preserves, crackers, chocolates, and indulgent treats made just miles from our doorstep.
Perfect for gifting, sharing, or elevating a cosy evening at home, every hamper celebrates the makers, growers, and flavours that define our region.
A true taste of the Chiltern Hills — delivered to your table.
