Wine Tasting

Curated wine tasting “flights” show region, variety, winemaking style, etc.

In the world of wine, the term ‘flight’ means a set of different wines to try alongside each other for comparison. 

We have curated over a dozen ‘flights’, each showing differences in winemaking style, grape variety, regionality, and other themes. Each flight is four x 40ml tastes, together little more than a normal glass of wine.

We serve our flights at the table, and have a menu of wine-friendly dishes to enjoy alongside.
