Eastbourne Beer Festival 2005

The Festival in October 2005 was the occasion for an interesting radio escapade for Ian - one of several he had in promoting the event!

Events

From time to time we will be organising special events, such as tutored tastings. These will be announced here.

Tastings

Private tastings: These can be for clubs, a group of friends/work colleagues, from 6 people upwards, usually on your premises or booked by arrangement, and can be as formal or informal as required, or themed or tailored according to your wishes. Our normal requirement is for the wines consumed to be paid for. 

Public tastings: These are often conducted by ourselves or will be part of our Winemaker Tastings series (where wine makers from prestigious estates are flown over to present and talk about their wines), or others involved in the wine trade.

The next planned events are:
