Welcome to The Tasting Quarter
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.

Your service has been impeccable all the way through – I really couldn’t have done it without you!” -
“Pip & his team make organising and running events easy – the outcome is always as desired – absolutely fantastic!” -
"If you are looking for a different high-level or executive program that is exclusive, engaging, entertaining, and honestly helps build and foster relationships, you should take a look at what these guys can do." -
“Our customer event last night was a great success and the feedback so far would match that.”
