Why a birthday tasting

A different plan for a day that deserves it

Adult birthdays tend to look the same: dinner, cake, a song or two. A private wine tasting changes the pace: it brings your people together around a table, with good wine and a guide who makes learning something new part of the party.

We design the tasting around who's celebrating: more relaxed and playful if the group is young, more measured and detailed if you're after something calmer. You decide the tone, we bring the wine and the storyline.

It works just as well as the main plan for the evening as it does as an aperitif before the birthday dinner.
