great experience
We had a great time and learned a lot. The presenter was very passionate and knowledgeable and cared to ensure we learn as much as possible whilst maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The wines and cheeses were delicious, each wine paired with one cheese, port and sweet wine paired with chocolate. Generous servings for a tasting and we appreciated no hard sales. Well rounded and executed experience.

Educational and Fun
We booked this as it was a Christmas present from 2020. Stunning location in Mayfair. Kam was engaging, amusing and very knowledgeable about wines and wine tasting. We met a lovely couple who shared our table too. We came away knowing useful ways of assessing wines and a little bit tipsy! Well worth it for something different to buy someone as a gift.

Very professional and enjoyable wine tasting
This was a great experience. An excellent venue (if a little over air-conditioned) and a most entertaining and knowledgable lecturer and host. It was very interesting to compare the different styles of wine and to be able to pair them with different foods, mainly different cheeses. Sipping port from a chocolate cup was definitely something I'd never tried before!

Kam was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging and professional. The wines were high quality and the range was insightful especially when paired with the snacks. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and look forward to enjoying our wine when we get home. We will definitely be recommending Wine Cottage to friends and will buy our next bottle if wine with educated enthusiasm. Thank you!

An excellent evening
Great informal tasting session, Kam is a funny and engaging host. This is the 2nd of his events we've done, and both were great with good sized pours and tasty cheese and chocolates. We ordered 6 bottles of wine which were delivered in a week. We did not do the optional tequila tasting before but the people at the table next to us did, and they were loudly drunk before the wine tasting started, which was annoying for a few people, seemingly including the organizers. Overall, highly recommend

best wine tasting
This was a fantastic wine tasting, best I have ever been to. Kam was so enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable, yet surprisingly relaxed, entertaining and down to earth. The wines were superb, especially the English Sparkling Wine - in my opinion better than any Champagne! I would recommend this experience to every wine enthusiast, both novice and experienced - you will learn so much!

Great time, highly recommend!
This was a belated Christmas present from last year which got delayed several times due to COVID, but it was worth the wait. Kam was a really passionate speaker, very knowledgeable and only too happy to answer any questions. It was a really nice cross section of wines, to get an understanding of differences between them. The cheese was yummy and the venue nicer than expected. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Very nice experience with the wine tasting paired with cheese. Our host Kam is very passionated and he explains the different aspects of the wine, how it is made and how to taste it in a very entertaining way. The wines were good (the cheese and chocolates as well). We could exchange with Kam when he went around the tables to answer our questions. Very nice experience, I recommend.

The wine tasting evening was fantastic, the wine expert was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. Learnt so much to pair food and wine and what to look for when buying next. The servings were so generous and we loved it so much we ended up buying our favourite bottles to take away. The English sparkling wine was our favourite- Definitely recommend the experience.

After the longest lockdown and numerous rescheduling (thanks to Olivia from Wine Cottage for the excellent customer service throughout the booking process), the wine tasting was worth the wait! We tasted some excellent wines which have won several awards and Kam's passion, enthusiasm and excitement were contagious. Kam made the experience entertaining with his humour and so interesting with his depth of knowledge. I would recommend this to all wine lovers and enthusiasts!
