Every two weeks or so we host a wine evening. This can be a tasting of a particular grape variety, the wines of an interesting vineyard or region to a wine maker's supper or food and wine matching. These are very popular and are booked up pretty quickly.
We are keen to promote wine tasting to everyone. It is our mission to knock some of the mystique out of the wine tasters' language as well as some of the hype and snobbery. To that end our events are very informal we do not tell you what you are supposed to taste, rather we encourage you to develop your own terminology.
There is also a lively series of Burns' Suppers and a great New Year's Eve black tie party.
Prices are usually about £8 up to £12 for a tasting and £25 to £38 for dinner and wine matching depending on the topic of course.
In addition we organise tasting suppers for groups either here at The Pipe of Port or at outside venues when we supply all the glasses, wine, notes and a speaker. These events tend to be quite light hearted and fun.

10 March 2009 Tapas £32
Another of our hardy perennials. Some new dishes and some old friends to reacquaint your selves with. 8 differ dishes each one a winner. Back to Spanish wine with this. I'm going to serve you 2 sherries with this meal. I'll get you hooked if it's the last thing I do. I will serve 3 other wines as well, so don't take it too hard. If you don't come to this event, I'll expect a sick note or a grovelling letter of apology.
