Corporate Tastings

Fresh, fun, informed events, with formats that are at the forefront of their field. Many of our tasting ranges can also be adapted to reflect any key messages you want to convey.

Choose your tasting route

Our events help you to maximise your resources and time, broaden your geographical reach and practice corporate social responsibility. Whether it’s 10+ guests or over 3000, we’ve done it and can help.

Our immersive experiences can be stand-alone or slotted into multiple scenarios. Each may include configurable quizzes, live polling, team participation, tailored tutorials, and much more.

In-Person - a trusted provider of live, face to face events since 2002.

Virtual - all in the comfort of your participant’s own environment – tasting kits can be sent to homes, offices or your own distribution centre. We are software agnostic, working with our own secure solution or yours.

Hybrid - A simultaneous, seamless integration of our virtual and in-person events, designed to attract all your audiences, however they want to participate.

The trust our clients place in us is paramount.
We're here to deliver the right event, and more, every time.
