Vine & Dinner: Introduction to Wine

Vine & Dine: An Introduction to Wineis an interactive wine tasting + small plates evening designed to make wine feel approachable and unpretentious. 

Hosted by a father-and-daughter duo, the night blends a love of good food with a passion for great wine. Paul, your guide through the tasting, is a self-taught wine connoisseur who has spent years exploring bottles, regions, and styles — and loves sharing what he’s learned in a way that’s approachable and practical. 

Together, we’ll tastethree white wines and three red wines, learning the fundamentals of how to taste, what to look for, and how different grapes and styles shape what’s in your glass. Each wine will be paired with seasonal small plates, thoughtfully crafted by Jen to show how food and wine can elevate one another.

This isn’t a formal lecture or a room full of experts swirling in silence — it’s a relaxed, welcoming space to ask questions, trust your palate, and build confidence choosing and enjoying wine in the real world.

On the night, you can expect:

• A guided tasting of3 whites and 3 reds
• Clear, accessible explanations of how to taste and talk about wine
• Insight from a passionate, self-taught wine lover
• Tips for pairing wine with food at home
• A series of small plates designed to complement each pour
• A cosy, sociable supper club atmosphere

Whether you’re completely new to wine or just want to understand it better, this evening is all about learning through tasting, eating, and enjoying the experience around the table.
