We love events because we love people. That’s why we have a calendar of tastings and events running throughout the year that cover everything from beer, the entire world of wine, liqueurs and spirits and food and wine matching experiences.
Our events feature experts from around the world who’ll infect you with their enthusiasm and knowledge. You’ll leave with a whole heap of new favourites and no doubt some new friends too.
You might also grab the chance to hold your own private tasting for a group of friends in our lovely shop. These evenings are tailor-made for you and it won’t involve us standing and talking at you. They’re about having fun and being interactive, just like a group of friends having a drink and a chat. Give us a shout for more details or if you have any questions.
Find out more about our upcoming events below or visit the shop to buy tickets.

Head Noise Maker Comes To Salisbury!
This is one of those events we’ve been looking forward to for a long time. Charlie O’Brien, head winemaker of Silent Noise Wines, is coming to us all the way from Australia to make some noise in Salisbury for one night only.

He has spent years studying winemaking and working in some of the world’s leading wineries and has now returned to his roots (ahem) to make his own wine in McLaren Vale, Australia.
His wine labels may scream in a garish way, but the juice inside eloquently articulates complexities in that sexy but smart way.
