Wine Events
Thursday 24th April 2008
The Refectory, Norwich
6pm - 10pm
Up to 100 wines to taste !
This event has sold out. The uptake of places took even us by surprise. However we have made a tentative booking at the refectory for October 23rd for our autumn equivalent. If you are interested in a provisional booking for this date experience tells us that you should let us know sometime soon.
On the 24th of April we are hosting a tasting at Norwich Cathedral Refectory. We anticipate that this event will assemble the finest collection of wines under one roof in Norwich for many years. The event that will showcase up to 100 wines from a great many of the world’s most prominent winemakers, these will be presented by specialist personnel that know these wines “inside out”. In our opinion, such an event in Norwich is more than a little overdue.
The event itself will run from 6pm until 10pm, although it is anticipated that the natural duration of the tasting, for most guests, will be not exceed 2 hours. Tickets for this event are available in advance only at just £10 per person.
In addition to tickets for the tasting itself we are offering a corporate package that will include tickets for the tasting and either a pre (6pm) or a post-supper (8.30pm) dinner at the nearby Elm Hill Brasserie or Tatlers. Included in this supper is a selection of wines from the tasting to enjoy with the menu which will be especially created for the evening. Experience tells us that such an evening has a lot to offer and provides you an opportunity to spend informal time with your team or some hand-picked key clients, learn a little more about some of the best new wines and enjoy a good meal at an award winning brasserie.
The price for this package is built around groups of six and is set at £250 inc VAT for a full and varied evening of entertainment. However, this package can be tailored to your specific requirements in terms of both numbers and format.
