Tastings & Events
These tastings have a focus on consumption and conversation. Dry, snooty wine tastings are a thing of the past. You'll learn a little, drink well and chat a lot. Some of the tastings will get a bit nerdy (in a fun way) and some will be an excuse for us to open up some great bottles and drink with good people. See individual events for more information.
Weeknight wine club
Thirsty Thursdays
On Thursday's we host a deep dive wine tasting session around a particular theme, variety or region. This is an opportunity to get beneath the dirt and discover deliciousness on a deeper level.
These tastings will be hosted by Vino Gusto co-owner, Jake Bennett-Day in our purpose built, first floor tasting room at Vino Towers with space for 10. Sessions start at 7pm and finish around 8:30pm.
We generally taste 5/6 wines around the evenings theme and there will be bread from Woosters Bakery to nibble on.
We have created a loyalty programme, specifically for Thirsty Thursdays. For every five sessions attended, the sixth is on us. You will be issued with your loyalty card at your first TT session.

Private & bespoke tastings
If you're looking to book a private tasting for a group, do get in touch. We'd love to help make your vinous dreams come true. Whether you're looking for a private masterclass from a Master of Wine, or you're a Hen Do trying to start the night off right, we'd love to take you on a delicious journey.
Ideally we require a group of eight - twelve to make a private booking work, but do get in touch and we'll see what we can do. Naturally your chosen theme will guide the price, but the below themes give you an idea.
Enomatic Machine
Self-Serve Wine Tasting
Fancy a super informal wine tasting?
Pop in anytime the shop is open to taste from our Enomatic machine. There will always be a selection (changed weekly) of eight wines open to taste. Simply purchase a tasting card in store and enjoy a 'help yourself' style tasting.
The team are on hand to explain the machine and take you through the wines if you wish, but otherwise grab a glass and away you go. This is essentially a walk-around tasting, but there are a few stools and tables if you'd like to take a seat and enjoy the wines with some olives in our beautiful space.
No need to book, just turn up! If you'd like to talk about hosting an informal tasting like this for a larger group out of hours, then get in touch.
We will always have a few great value wines and some special juice on the machine. A £10 credit is a good start allowing a taste of most wines, but we can always top you up if you're after a few glasses of the good stuff.
Corporate Services
Looking to take the team out of the office and have a laugh (team bonding over a glass of wine or two... What could go wrong?!)? Please get in touch. We'd love to help out.
