Have you thought about booking a wine tasting with us.  We host over 100 wine tastings every year for our shop and business customers.  Whether you want to come to a relaxed fun wine tasting, learn a bit more about wine or even build closer ties with your clients and team an event can be built for you.

We are happy to tailor a tasting to suit your individual requirements. As a guide tastings can be arranged Tuesday – Friday. Arrive at 6pm for a glass of fizz on arrival followed by five seasonal or topical wines. We’ll put on a range of small canapés to compliment the wine selection and have your wrapped up by 8pm.

Below are a few ideas and examples:

Make Me An Expert.
This is an evening of wine discovery. We taste and discuss 3 classic wine varieties looking at their history, their countries of origin and discussing the classic food pairings. We also cover other popular questions such as cork v screwcap, why decant, what glassware. Arrive a novice, leave an expert. 60 minutes. £10 per person. (subject to minimum spend)

Old World vs. New World
An evening showing 6 wines from different areas of the viniferious world. Bubbles on arrival then followed by 2 white and 3 red wines. Bread with dipping oils, artisan crisps and olives will also be served alongside the wines. This is a VERY popular evening.
90 minutes – £15 per person Minimum 10 people.

Cheesy Moments.

Why is cheese and wine still such an enduring combination? Do all cheeses even suit wine? Is Port and Stilton really such a good match? The answers to all these questions and more cheese related conundrums will be revealed. 6 Wines are presented starting with something bubbly, followed by 2 white and 3 red wines. Wines on the evening will be relevant to the time of the year we are in.
2 hours. £20 per person. Minimum 10 people.



In the Flavour Pit.

The ultimate hedonists evening. Here we roll out some of the most intense and full-flavoured wines in the wine world and combine them with classic charcuterie, tapas and cheeses. Unashamedly ‘in your face’ this is journey to the boundaries of full-flavour. For the indulgent natured.

“We booked a wine tasting event with Harper Wells. As a thank you for all their efforts that out team of Norwich Union staff and consultants have given to our project. From the first contact with HarrperWells to the end of the night, everything went like clockwork. It was a fun, lighthearted look into the world of wine which was throughly enjoyed by all from the novices all the way through to our self confessed wine-aholics! A superb night and we would certainly recommend them!”
Jeremy McNulty, Head of Norwich Tactical Planning, Aviva

Edmundson Norwich are delighted to have Harper Wells host their customer wine tasting evenings.We know all too well in our industry that “People deal with people” and the strength of Harper Wells team lies in their team of friendly , knowledgeable and hospitable people. Dean and Brian really do the most superb double act and bounce off each other with practised ease – it really brings a comedic element to our events and dispenses with the perceived snobbery that can often be associated with wine tastings.Our customers are predominantly all local to our premises and for Harper Wells to have a retail presence only a few miles away from us ensures we are promoting local support for local business, an ethic that runs right through our organisation.

We appreciate the fact that Harper Wells are more than happy to use our own premises to host the events and this provides a welcome level of familiarity for our customers and staff who attend.

In the search for something a little different when it comes to corporate hospitality we were lucky to have landed upon the team at Harper Wells, the event that they have hosted for us in the last couple of years is now a permanent fixture on our calendar.

We are all wiser and broader minded wine drinkers for having worked with them. Steve Finney, Edmundson Electrical, Norwich.

“I have been to a great many “Wine and Food ” events over the years….those hosted or organized by HarperWells stand out from all the rest, and I have never been able to fault the organization and exquisite planning of his events. They have a light relaxed style, great authority and knowledge and the uncanny ability to pitch the event at just the right level for the majority of guests.
Mike Kirkham, Development Opportunities Ltd.

“Norfolk Community Foundation has used Harper Wells as our wine supplier for events for over a year now. Even where sponsorship covers our costs, as a charity, we are always mindful about price and they always fit within our often, very tight budget, yet provide a perfectly quaffable wine that fits with the food we are providing! I can assure that everything is done professionally, to budget and all with a with a friendly smile.” Anna Douglas, Marketing and Development Manager, Norfolk Community Foundation

HarperWells were just spot on in putting good value quality wines together for our recent major event – matching to food and budget perfectly. We had great feedback. David Ellis, UEA
