Private dining

Are you planning an indulgent meal for a special occasion such as a birthday, wedding or just because you can? You may be intending to cook this yourself or you may have enlisted the services of a private chef. Whichever way, you will need carefully curated matching wines to elevate the occasion and complete the experience.  This is where Wine Waves comes in.

I booked Sian to organise wine pairing & tasting to go with my 7 course dinner party. We had a fab evening. The wine was amazing & she was so professional & knowledgeable. She made this a really memorable evening for everyone. We particularly enjoyed learning how to judge the acidity of wine and I will no longer be buying Prosecco when I’m looking for a champagne substitute.
Highly recommended!
