Launch date; 1 October 2025

Tasting Party With a Difference!

It’s taken two years since I’ve had this idea to finally launch it into the ether and see if anyone else is as excited about this concept as myself!

So the idea is that you get four (750ml) bottles of wine enclosed in paper bags; numbered so you know in which order to drink them.  You also get notes on wine tasting basics, how to host a wine tasting party~ what you’ll need to get set up, plus food and wine guidelines.  You will also have notes of things you could ask your group about each wine and discussion ideas… if after you’ve revealed the wine and the bottle doesn’t answer some of the questions, there will be corresponding numbered envelopes with answers or anecdotes about the wine (everything is sealed so that you, the host, can play along too if you want).

Also included in the package is a copy of an aroma wheel for descriptive ideas, a bespoke wine bottle vase, a packet of crackers and a unique discount code for you and your guests, and postage is included too!!

This will be suitable for up to 15 people, so start thinking about your favourite group of people, your neighbours, (adult) family get togethers, book club, wine club, gardening club, hen nights, awkward dinners that will need an ice breaker, team building exercises, Xmas/summer parties… so many opportunities!!

Friendly Feilding has been proving itself true at the Feilding Farmers Market on the Fridays that I’ve been going (first and last Friday of the month), despite the  consistent wind we’ve all been having to deal with!  This Friday (3rd October) is Rural Day in Feilding and it’s looking to be hugely fun; I’ll be there with all my goods, including a new wine to the books; From the Vine, Tomato Wine…

You can find the wine here (available in 200ml bottles too)

I only have two wines still actively fermenting away, Golden Passion (golden plum, passionfruit + grapefruit) and Lemon Daze (lemon and lime), everything else has been bottled or about to be bottled.  So it’s the perfect time to give the winery a spring clean, give the floors a new lick of sealant, check all the equipment is tickedy boo, see if anything needs replacing etc and get everything ready before the season pops off again in November when the elderflowers bloom.

Ohh, and I have three wines coming out in November too, three!!!
