Taste, Buy And Admire Wines At Wine tastings Near London Hotels

Picture this. A goblet of wine in hand, with luscious chocolate melting in your mouth or maybe a slice of mature cheddar by the side, you enjoy an evening in London in the company of the city's most elite crowd. Can it get better than this? With the various wine-tasting clubs that have mushroomed in London, it is no more just a picture in your head.

Taste the honey coloured liquid or take a swig of deep red liquor or try the watery white wine by attending the various wine tasting events happening near London hotels. A list of events has been given below so that the travellers can plan a visit accordingly.

Dessert Night

Indulge yourself in 8 mouth watering chocolate, cream and fruit desserts with wine to sip by the side. The very talented ‘cook with a sweet tooth', Esther Roling comes in as the chef for the day on the 1st of September. Unanimously agreed upon as London's best caterer and the God of dessert-making, she is sure to make you run back for more. Eight wines to compliment each sweet-dish will be selected by the house, though they are open to trying out new combinations, on suggestions.

Where: Bottle Apostle

Victoria Park Village, Hackney

Special Experiences

Get onboard for a journey full of laughter, fun and of course, lots of wine! These tastings come with a twist and also hordes of learning. Six to seven tastings- each with a different motto and style are held. The ‘Guess The Grape' includes tasting six wines and guessing which is which. The "love Wine' tastings are hen/stag party favourites. They are great for birthday celebrations too. Many other events along with the ones mentioned above, come together to offer you a very ‘special experience'.

World Of Wine

An out an out learning experience, this is a crash-course in wine studies. Taste fifteen different wines (red and white) and learn their origin, making and region, find out how climatic conditions affect your wine. Know why sniffing and swirling is important while drinking. Catch all this and much more on the 3rd of September.  It is a great way of learning about this coloured liquid in a fun way in the span of a day.
