Planning guide

Corporate wine tasting events

A good corporate wine tasting is structured, inclusive and easy for attendees. The aim is a professional event with sensible pacing, not a heavy-drinking format.

In-person vs virtual tastings

In-person works well for hospitality, private rooms and higher-touch client events.
Virtual tastings suit remote teams and distributed clients, but delivery logistics matter.
Hybrid formats need extra planning for both room and remote attendees.

Guest numbers

Small groups can be more conversational and premium.
Larger groups need a clearer run sheet, host control and simpler wine choices.
Confirm final attendee count before pack delivery or venue commitment.

Budget ranges

Under £25 per head: simple or informal route.
£25-£60 per head: hosted virtual or accessible in-person format.
£60-£120+ per head: premium host, venue, food pairing or private room.

Venue and delivery considerations

Ask about licensing, glassware, food, water, transport and accessibility.
For virtual events, confirm delivery lead times, substitutions and late-pack process.
