The Opulence Experience
What Does An In-Office Tasting Look Like?
Picture your meeting room, quietly transformed. We arrange the space and the glasses, and by the time your guests arrive, everything is ready. From the first welcome, the tasting unfolds at a relaxed and engaging pace, with the wines introduced in small groups and guests encouraged to taste, ask questions and share their impressions. It feels like a conversation rather than a formal wine lesson.
Whether someone is an experienced wine enthusiast or discovering English wine for the first time, our host makes the tasting accessible without losing its sense of occasion. Guests can learn as much as they wish while still enjoying the social side of the evening, so everyone feels included.
Meanwhile, Opulence quietly manages everything behind the scenes. From shaping the tasting and selecting the wines to coordinating the arrangements and hosting on the day, we make the whole process straightforward for you. Rather than overseeing the practicalities, you can be present with your guests and enjoy the experience too.
Who we work with
The best in-office tastings start with a simple thought: how do we make this evening feel special for our people, or for the clients we want to impress? For some teams, it’s a thank-you at the end of a demanding quarter. For others, it’s a milestone worth marking, a welcome for new colleagues, or a more memorable way to entertain clients than the usual drinks reception. We work with businesses of every kind and size, and we shape each tasting around your guests and your occasion.
Whoever is organising it, whether an office manager, an events lead or a PA, we take the planning off your hands, so you can enjoy the evening with everyone else. As one client told us: “Once again you absolutely smashed it for us. Exceeded even my already high expectations – the small group pouring and introduction of the wines was such a brilliant format and so unlike the rather disruptive and domineering way that wine tasting events are traditionally done. Had several comments on the night from guests who found it so inviting and more relaxed / enjoyable than any other they had been to.” – Crowe UK. You can read more kind words on our testimonials page.
What Does It Cost?
No two tastings are the same, so there’s no fixed menu. We begin with your brief, thinking about your guests, group size, available space, timings and the atmosphere you’d like to create. Our in-office tastings start from £85 per person, and the final price is shaped around your occasion and the experience you create.
It might be an intimate tasting around a single table, or a larger reception with informal tasting stations. Your tasting could feature award-winning English sparkling and still wines, insights into the vineyards and the winemaking process, a winemaker introducing their wine and pairings such as Kentish cheeses, seasonal canapés or grazing boards. Branded tasting notes, bespoke menus and carefully selected gift bottles can be added too, so the experience feels personal to your organisation.
Tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll send a clear proposal that shows exactly what’s included, so you can plan with confidence.

FAQs
How does an in-office wine tasting work?
We bring the experience to you. We supply the wines, glassware, presentation materials and a knowledgeable host, and set everything up within your meeting room or event space. The tasting is professionally guided but relaxed, allowing your team or guests to learn, taste and engage without leaving the office.
How much space do we need for an in-office tasting?
Most tastings can be comfortably delivered in a standard meeting room or open office space. We will advise on layout depending on your guest numbers and ensure the format works smoothly within your environment.
How many guests can you host?
We can design in-office tastings for groups of any size. The format is adapted to suit your numbers and space, whether that means an intimate hosted tasting or a larger-scale experience using tasting stations where guests move between wines. The structure is always shaped to ensure the experience feels well managed and engaging, regardless of guest count.
How long does an in-office tasting typically last?
Most tastings last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the format and number of wines selected. We can tailor the timing to fit around your schedule, whether it’s an afternoon team session or an early evening client event.
Can the tasting be tailored to our objectives or theme?
Yes. We can design the tasting around a specific theme, such as English sparkling wine, sustainability in winemaking or comparing styles. The structure can also be shaped around your objective, whether that’s team engagement, client hosting or celebration.
Are non-alcoholic options available?
Absolutely. We can incorporate alcohol-free alternatives and ensure all guests feel included in the experience. The emphasis is on shared learning and connection, not simply drinking.
Can the tasting include food pairings such as cheeses or canapés?
Yes. We can incorporate carefully selected food pairings to enhance the experience, whether that’s artisan cheeses, seasonal canapés or more substantial grazing options. Pairings are chosen to complement the wines and can be tailored to suit the tone of your event, from informal team gatherings to more refined client occasions.
