Discover the Magic of Wine at Grape Minds’ Award-Winning Tasting Events

At Grape Minds, we believe wine is best enjoyed when it’s shared—and there’s no better way to explore the world of wine than through our expertly curated tasting events.

Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned connoisseur, our wine tasting events are designed to entertain, educate, and delight. Hosted in our Summertown and Wallingford shops, each tasting offers a unique opportunity to try a wide range of wines—from hidden gems and regional favourites to exclusive bottles you won’t find anywhere else.

Led by our WSET-trained team, these events are more than just a sip and swirl. We dive into the stories behind the bottles, explore food pairings, and help you discover what you truly love in a wine. It’s the perfect night out for friends, couples, or solo explorers looking to broaden their palate.

Our tasting calendar is filling up fast! From themed evenings and guest winemakers to seasonal showcases and fine wine nights, there’s something for everyone.
