Strictly online wine tasting!

£30.00 per device with Zoom

Join us online for an afternoon of spectacular Strictly Online Wine Tasting!

Why Strictly? Well, this is the date set to be the first live show of Strictly Come Dancing 2026, so it's the perfect way to get together before the show starts!

This event will be a sparkling trip down wine tours memory lane, featuring many of our past wine tour destinations, beginning in style with Champagne - our very first tour was to the Champagne region after all!

Karen, Andy and Richard are excited to welcome you online to taste some amazing wines from our past region destinations and share more with you about these regions as well as our plans for future tours. As well as the Champagne to start, we'll inlcude a mix of white, rosé and red wines too. The featured Champagne will be available as a half or full bottle size and you can choose which size is best for you based on the number of people at home.

We'll feature six wines in all which are available to buy from independent online retailer The Wine Society. You will need to be a meber of The Wine Society to purchase these wines (a £40 lifetime membership fee applies which inlcudes £20 off your first order) - one of the many member benefits is free delivery, even if it's just one bottle. You can join The Wine Society here.

We advise buying the wines around one week prior. Whilst next day delivery is usually available, there are occasions when the courier is busy so please ensure you order your wines in time. You don't need to buy all six! You can choose, perhaps depending on how many of you will be at home, which wines to buy and then taste what you've purchased with us during the event and listen in to the rest. Please no dont consume the wines, even in part, prior to the event and follow the preparation instructions carefully.

How does it work?

Once we've received your booking request and completed payment we'll email the wines that we're featuring so you can select and order which ones you'd like to taste with us.

You'll also need to open an account with Zoom to access the event, if you don't already have an account. You can do that here! A few days before the event, we'll email an online flip book of the tasting notes together with the Zoom event access link - there will be a password and depending on your devide, you may need a Zoom app (eg iPad or laptop) - if not you can access the meeting from your web browser. Together with the tasting notes and Zoom meeting link we'll also include how to prepare the wines and we'll list some simple food paring suggestions for each wine so you can prepare (or buy in) something to try with the wines to appreciate how food and wine paring works.
