TUESDAY 25TH NOVEMBER AND THURSDAY 27TH NOVEMBER. 7.30PM. BRIGITTE’S BEST OF 2025

We don't need much of an excuse to re-taste our favourite wines of the year, so if you'd like to join us, we're happy to crack open the bottles.

As well as our favourites and wines that have meant something significant to us in 2025, we'll also be revisiting some of our guests' favourites from this year's tastings.

Great wine guaranteed; we hope to see you there! THESE TWO TASTINGS ARE NOW SOLD OUT

MONDAY 1ST, TUESDAY 2ND AND WEDNESDAY 3RD DECEMBER. 7.30PM. FESTIVE FIZZ TASTINGS

As has become tradition over the last few years, we're hosting three 'Festive Fizz' tastings to hopefully accommodate everyone who wants to put a bit of sparkle into the start of the festive season.

As always, there will be a 10% discount offered on purchases made at the end of the evening. So, not only is it a great night out, it's also an opportunity to stock up on some great seasonal sparklers for the festivities ahead.

Our 'Festive Fizz' tastings are always full of fun, fizz and festive cheer. If that sounds good to you, book your ticket today!

SUNDAY 7TH DECEMBER. 1PM - 5PM. BRIGITTE’S CHRISTMAS FAIR

This is always a great day where we open lots of wines for you to taste and invite local makers and craftspeople to come and sell their wares.

Tickets are £25pp for a two-hour time slot. Please let us know if you'd like to join us between 1pm and 3pm or 3pm and 5pm. Your £25 ticket not only gets you plenty of wine to taste, it also gives you 10% off the purchase of any of your favourites on the day. Any wines you buy also qualify for free delivery straight to your door in the week following the event.

We will be putting the call out again for any local makers, bakers and craftspeople who may want to join us (for free) to sell their wares. If that sounds like you, or anyone you know, get in touch.

It promises to be an afternoon full of festive cheer as well as the perfect opportunity to do a bit of pain-free Christmas shopping and to stock up with delicious wines for the festive period.

We hope you can make it!

WEDNESDAY 10TH DECEMBER. 7.30PM. FESTIVE FORTIFIEDS TASTING

£38PP

If there's anything that can equal 'Festive Fizz' for fun, it's 'Festive Fortifieds'.

Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala and much more! We'll be tasting some great wines that will be the perfect Christmas fireside tipples as well as partners for your Christmas dishes and desserts.

We love fortified wines and if you do too, we'd love you to join us! THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT

MONDAY 29TH DECEMBER. 7.30PM. BIG TWIXMAS TASTING AND QUIZ OF THE YEAR(S)

£42PP

Twixmas: that wonderfully hazy stretch between Christmas and New Year when time slows down, nobody knows what day it is, and a glass of something delicious feels practically mandatory. So, we thought—what better moment to host one more special event?

All of our wine tastings for 2025 have already sold out, so we’re uncorking one extra end-of-year celebration: The Big Twixmas Vintage Tasting and Quiz of the Year(s).

Join us for an evening of great wines drawn from a mix of older and more recent vintages—each one prompting a 5-question quiz round to test your memory of recent history, pop culture, and the events that shaped the years these wines were born.

🎁 Christmas present idea:
Why not give the gift of great wine and a fun festive night out? We offer physical gift vouchers for our tastings that can be opened on Christmas Day —perfect for anyone who loves wine, quizzes, or both.

Due to the inclusion of some pretty special older bottles, the ticket price for this event is slightly higher than usual at £42pp. This price includes all the wines, all the usual food plus some extra festive treats and all the fun of the quiz!

Tickets are limited so book early and come celebrate Twixmas with us—glass in hand. 🍷 THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT

THURSDAY 22ND JANUARY. 7.30PM. ‘DRINK SOMETHING DIFFERENT’ TASTING

Kick off the new year with something new in your glass! Join us for our first wine tasting of the year, where we'll be celebrating the curious, the quirky, and the wonderfully unexpected.

This special evening is all about discovery. We'll be pouring a selection of unusual and lesser-known grape varieties from across the wine world—bottles you're unlikely to find on your usual wine list. Expect new flavours, new stories, and maybe even a new favourite.

Whether you're a seasoned sipper or simply wine-curious, this is the perfect chance to shake up your drinking habits and explore something deliciously different.

WEDNESDAY 28TH JANUARY. 7.30PM. WINTER WARMERS TASTING

Join us for an evening designed to thaw the winter chill from the inside out. Our "Winter Warmers" tasting will showcase rich, comforting, cold-weather wines—bottles that wrap you up like a favourite blanket.

Expect bold reds, spicy blends, hearty classics, and a few surprises chosen for their depth, warmth, and seasonal charm. It's the perfect way to brighten the end of January and treat yourself to something indulgent after a long month.

Whether you're looking to discover a new fireside favourite or simply enjoy good wine in good company, this tasting promises to be a delicious escape from the winter blues.

WEDNESDAY 4TH FEBRUARY. 7.30PM. ‘BRIGITTE’S TOUR OF ITALY’ TASTING

Shake off the last of the winter gloom and join us for a vibrant escape to Italy—no passport required!

Whether you're a long-time Italophile or simply in need of a mid-winter pick-me-up, this tasting promises a glass-by-glass holiday. Buy your ticket today!

THURSDAY 12TH FEBRUARY. 7.30PM. ‘SPAIN, BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT’ TASTING

Think you know Spanish wine? Think again. Join us for a boundary-pushing evening as we explore Spain, but not as you know it—a tasting dedicated to the country's most modern, inventive, and surprising winemakers.

We'll be joined by Jonney Cox from Moreno Wines, an importer rapidly gaining a reputation for championing Spain's freshest wave of talent. Expect cutting-edge producers, rediscovered regions, unexpected styles, and some of the most exciting bottles to come out of Spain in years.

From vibrant whites to innovative reds and everything in between, this tasting promises to open your eyes (and your palate) to the Spain that's rewriting the rulebook.
