About WineDating© - Speed Dating & Wine Tasting
in LondonWineDating evenings are a great way to meet new people whilst enjoying some great wines
from around the world. Wine tasting Dating allows you to meet people in groups
of 6 rather than one-on-one like traditional speed dating. What is the format of a WineDating event?
Original Dating wine tasting events are totally different to any other
dating events in London. On arrival you will greeted by our hosts who will allocate
you a table number and a scorecard.
Once everyone has arrived our
host will begin a brief introduction, some hints and tips plus
a description of the six wines you will taste during the event. Everyone then takes their seats and the tasting of the first wine begins.
Please remember to arrive on time as we can't always let you in if you're really
late!
Once everyone is seated in their first group of six (3 guys, 3 girls) the wine
tasting begins! You then have around 12 minutes to taste the first wine, chat
and get to know your first set of co-tasters.
When your 12 minutes is up we will signal the end of your first tasting session. At this point the guys move on to their next
table and collect the wines for their next tasting group.
It's important to note down the people you want to see after each tasting as
you're going to be using our online matching system then morning after the
event!
This format until all groups have met all the members of the opposite sex and
tasted all six wines. How long do I get with each
group?
Each wine tasting last for approximately 12 minutes each. You will taste 3 white wines with your first three
Wine Dates then three reds with the next three. Much more sedate than speed
dating! How long do the events last?
Wine Tasting events last approximately two hours.
Trust us, it flies by! After the event you will have met loads of new people so most people stay on afterwards and
get to know everyone better. Where are the events held?
We always hire a totally private venue for our events. Typically our events are held in stylish independent venues known for their great locations, decor and ambiance. In the past we have held WineDating events at The Yorkshire Grey in Holborn, London and The Amber Bar in Soho, also in London. Although many of our WineDating events are held in London we hope to bring these to other cities in the UK very soon. Do you give us decent wine?
Naturally! We only use quality wines from
around the world. We take advice from our wine experts on which wines to select for our events.
Depending on the which region we are showcasing, you may get to taste, whites,
reds, rose and sparkling wine. It's not always 3 red and 3 white, but we try to
keep it that way. How many people attend?
Although we can't guarantee exact numbers we typically limit our wine tasting events to around
40 people. We have found that is the optimum number of people to meet in this way. Are the numbers of girls and guys equal?
We carefully monitor bookings to control the girl/guy ratio and keep it as equal as absolutely possible. What type of people attend WineDating events?
Similarly to our speed dating events our WineDating clients
tend to mostly be professionals living and working in London. Often attractive, fun and YES - totally normal! Do I have to be interested in wine to attend?
NO - You just have to enjoy drinking it!
How much wine do I get?
You will be given tasting measures of
each wine. The total amount (should you choose to drink it all) will add up to
approximately half a bottle. What happens after the event?
This is the time for you to compile your ticks and make up your mind about the people you have met during the evening. Most people tend to stay at the venue,
have a couple more drinks and continue chatting after the event has finished. The following day you simply login to our website, enter your ticks and view your matches! Can my company sponsor your events?
