An enjoyable afternoon
Arriving early due to the tube strike. Kam allowed us in and offered a drinks list. The couple who joined our table were friendly and we had a lovely time enjoying their company. Kam explained the wines/cheeses very well. He came around the tables to discuss anything individually. No pressure to buy any wine in the evening. You felt that it could be for two hours as at the end it was a bit rushed. Kam did well as 2 girls talked constantly during his speech which was most off-putting.

Great wine tasting experience
Really good wine tasting experience. Generous wine servings. The experience should last 1.5hours however would allow 2 hours so you’re not rushing your drinks. The cheese portions were small but delicious. Would highly recommend.

every red wine lover's dream
What a fantastic experience! So well thought through, very educational and at the same time Kam was so entertaining and the evening was relaxed. I think the wines were so different that there would be at least one to suit every taste, and at the same time all the wines together told a story. I will definitely be coming back.

virtual option
Our experience got cancelled due to the lockdown so we were offered the virtual option instead. The virtual tasting was very interesting, Kam was very knowledgeable and entertaining, the wines were a good diverse selection of various reds. Overall a great experience, worth the money and a nice thing to do, nice break from reality in these strange times.

changed to virtual tasting
I had originally booked this experience for my partner's birthday in December, however due to the lockdown it didn't go ahead so I opted to change to a virtual tasting experience over Zoom and it was excellent. Wine Cottage were very prompt and courteous in arranging my tasting and sending the wines to my home, and Kam did a great job teaching us how to taste and appreciate wine. Fully recommend.

changed to online option
Due to COVID, we were given the option to do a private virtual tasting with Kam. This was perfect for us as we don't know when we will be able to leave our home. 6 bottles of wine were sent to our home and we had our tasting on a Sunday afternoon. Kam was very knowledgeable, approachable and entertaining and the 2 hours flew by. We are glad we went for the virtual option, thank you Wine Cottage.

lovely present
My son took me to this tasting in October as a birthday present and I had a wonderful time. The presenter was impressively knowledgeable, very passionate about the topic and presented with a much appreciated sense of humour and a relaxed atmosphere. There was sufficient time between each wine to have a chat with my son so the whole evening was well balanced and well executed. The wines and cheeses were also delicious and interesting. i would recommend this experience.

for any red wine lover
The wine tasting was held in a charming set up of Sofitel St James at a great central location. The presented Kam explained in a very understandable way wines of France from north to south, which was educational and interesting. We also tried some Spanish, Australian and Italian wines which made the selection diverse. Kam answered all our questions with admirable knowledge and passion which was much appreciated. We had a lovely time and would recommend this experience to family and friends.

for red wine lovers
The experience venue was changed due to COVID, the venue was stroke of genius, at the Oval overlooking the grounds! All COVID secure and socially distanced, hand sanitisers everywhere etc. The tasting itself was fun, with plenty of wine and each paired with yummy cheese. 7 reds to go through, great variety and all fantastically explained. Kam was so enthusiastic and answered all our questions showing loads of knowledge and personality.

Brilliant experience
We went to the Vintage and Estate. Red wine and cheese tasting which was a brilliant experience. The talk was by Kam who was a very interesting and enthusiastic speaker who held our attention all the way through the evening. We learnt so much but it was great fun also. Lots of COVID precautions so it felt very safe. Would highly recommend this experience

One of the best evenings I've had
We had a fabulous evening, spent tasting various wines from different regions and different countries, our sommelier was very proactive, asking our opinions and wanting us to be totally involved. I would totally recommend this experience for anyone who loves wine and cheese and would like to know a bit more of what they are eating and drinking

Amazing experience for lovers of wine
As someone who’s been a lover of wine but never known much about the process of wine making and what makes every wine taste, look and smell like it does I was thoroughly educated but also very entertained in the two hours we got with our host who had studied it all his life and had such a passion for the drink. It was a relaxed and fun experience but the information I got will be very beneficial for the rest of my wine drinking days. Connoisseurs will have a great time and the cheeses were lush.

Wine Encounter
Set in the posh surroundings of a hotel off Trafalgar Square the evening was informative, fun and well organised. We sat at a table with 4 other couples and were quickly chatting in anticipation of our experience. Our host was relaxed and knowledgable and passed on his wisdom at the correct level, with good humour. The wines we tasted were of good quality and paired to advantage by a well chosen cheese. We left the evening in good spirits; a little wiser and the better for some good company.

Cheese and wine tasting
Cam was absolutely brilliant very engaging and very interesting to hear. I didn’t know there was so much to know about wine before the event but more importantly the food that will go with it!. The way he explained it and then you tried it was like an “oh yes“ moment! I will definitely recommend friends and family for the future it was such a great experience, fun, enjoyable educational and more importantly useful for the future! Well done cam!
