Vintage Associates Presents
The Private
Wine Evening
An exceptional evening of wine, food and conversation, hosted privately in your home.
A private chef. A fine wine specialist. Exceptional bottles. Six guests.
The Concept
An Evening Built
Around Wine
Some wines deserve more than simply being opened.
The Private Wine Evening brings together an exceptional selection of wines, a bespoke menu and the insight of a fine wine specialist for an intimate evening hosted entirely in your own home.
Designed for you and up to five guests, every element of the evening is arranged by Vintage Associates.
No restaurant. No formal tasting room. No lecture.
Just exceptional wine, food and conversation around your own table.
The Wine
Exceptional bottles, selected for the evening.
A carefully considered selection of fine wines chosen to create an evening of discovery, comparison and conversation.
From established names to exceptional producers guests may not have encountered before, every bottle has a reason for being at the table.
The Food
A menu created around the wines.
A private chef designs and prepares a bespoke menu specifically around the evening's selection.
The food complements the wine rather than competing with it, creating a dining experience unique to the evening.
The Conversation
Hosted by a Fine Wine Specialist.
Your evening is hosted by an experienced wine professional with advanced formal wine qualifications and an extensive knowledge of fine wine.
They guide you through the wines, producers, regions and stories behind each bottle, bringing expert knowledge to the table without turning the evening into a formal tasting.
Informative when you want it to be. Informal when you don't.
This should feel like dinner with an extraordinarily knowledgeable guest, not attending a wine course.
