Wine Tasting Events

Join us on an adventure in wine and food – from the foothills of the
Pennines to vineyards by the sea.

We’ll take you on a journey in a glass across the beautiful island of
Sardinia, pairing six rare wines with a stunning selection of artisan cheeses made by an award-winning Sardinian cheesemaker in Yorkshire, using milk from local farms.

Each wine will reveal another chapter in Sardinia’s story, exploring its
environment, history, food, culture – with some unexpected detours to Wales!

These events are for curious connoisseurs and winelovers with a wanderlust.

Our glasses are full, our platters are generous, and the evening is full of surprises.

The venue (appropriately) is York’s iconic Bonding Warehouse, by Skeldergate Bridge, which was built in the 1870s to store wine and spirits brought by boat from Hull.

This historic, waterfront building is now a beautiful co-working and events space, run by Patch.

What’s included:

6 x 75ml/100ml tastings of red, white, rosé and sparkling wines.

A generous platter of Yorkshire cheeses, traditional Sardinian bread and savoury nibbles.

Tasting notes.

A wonderful riverside view and good company!

A great pre-Christmas treat, every guest receives a generous discount on wines purchased/ordered on the night, with free delivery to select Yorkshire postcodes.

We're thrilled to be taking part in two days of feasting among artisan producers and sharing the story of sustainable, small scale Sardinian wine producers.

Join us for a tipple. Take away a bottle!

The Quirky events are more for happy sloshers than sommeliers and we encourage lots of conversation about wine, food, traditions, culture, travel … wherever the evening takes us.

Each tasting features a new selection of six wines and a traditional Sardinian sharing platter.

Our hosts are Quirky Cafe & Bar on Lendal Bridge, York. With views across the river and a crazy sense of interior design, it's the perfect place to linger, laugh and learn, and suits our small, friendly evenings perfectly.

Places at this venue are limited.

Metz founder Emmanuelle is more than a cheesemonger - she's an artist in cheese.

Not only does she create the most stunning, award-winning platters and cheese towers, she'll often add her own unique twist of flavour, elevating an impressive cheese to the sublime.

The Metz counter is a storybook. From her native France to her adoptive county of Yorkshire, Emmanuelle will weave a tale around every truckle, log and wheel, capturing the spirit of its terroir.

Which is why we are so excited to be partnering with her on cheese and wine tastings in 2026.

A lovely cosy cafe in one of Leeds' famous arcades, Olive & Rye – and its sister restaurant Olive & Thai – is famous for its friendly vibe and authentic homecooked food.

Come with us to the island that wine lovers forgot as wine expert Cris Donateo takes you on a journey through the oldest winemaking region in the Western Mediterranean.

We'll be showcasing six Sardinian wines and pairing them with an exciting fusion food platter.

This is one of our informal events for curious wine lovers with lots of conversation about wine, food, traditions, culture, travel … wherever the evening takes us!
