On the first Tuesday of each month, join us at a local wine bar to share ideas and tastes with other oenological enthusiasts.

This event attracts 50-75 wine lovers – it’s bigger and more informal than a guided Tastour tasting. We go to a lot of effort to ensure that the venue is easy to get to, the right environment is created and everyone mingles.

What's New:

We have added a mini wine tasting, called a Tastour Tease!  Each month, for 5 minutes you will learn a bit about wine, so that you can shop smarter and save money.

We also have added a little icebreaker to help you learn about the style of grapes. (see below for a member's blog)

What's A Tastour Tease?
Written by
Sarah, Tastourian

Last Tuesday, I spent the evening meeting and talking to grapes…am I crazy? Was I trolleyed?!

Well, definitely not nuts, nor were the 50 others who were there.

It was Tastour’s monthly social drinks - as we went in, we all chose a grape personality and got a sticker.  I plumped for ‘Pinot Grigio - I'm TRENDY - I'm in all the bars, not always cheap, but I am EASY…drinking’.  It was hilarious! I met so many grape people!!!  I also met up with a few old friends in the guise of Malbec ‘Rich and chococately, I am every girl’s dream’ and Marsanne ‘Some consider me to be the finest in the world.  Learning about the grape styles was fun. I even met my match - I mean, I met a chap who’d also chosen Pinot Grigio.  Did this mean we were soul-mates – Mr and Miss Pinot Grigio - both trendy and playful?! We’ll see!

Although it was a social drinks night, there was also a mini-wine tasting – rather aptly named a Tastour Tease! So not just a great night with some fun people, but I learned something as well!  At the start of the evening, in small groups, you were guided through your first glass of wine – this glass of wine was free when you arrived. We learnt a few tricks of trade about aromas.  The guide said that we’ll be tackling a different subject every month.  But it’s whet my appetite – they’re running a Champagne tasting on 24th April and I’m going to sign up tonight.  The tasting was only 5 minutes, so there was plenty of time to get mingling, buy some more wine at the bar and test out my new-found smelling skills!  All in all, a grape night!!
