High praise from guests and employees alike

We did a competitive wine-tasting event for clients and employees and the feedback was overwhelming. One of my colleagues said they've never received such high praise for an event from clients.

Both Tom and Lucy hosted our event and they were absolutely superb. They knew exactly what was needed to engage the guests and ensure that the event ran smoothly.

We will definitely be using them again.

A great evening!

I went to a wine tasting competition hosted by Tom and his team last night. It was delightful in every way - a lot of fun, educative (well, for me anyway) and there was a great esprit de corps within each team. This is a terrific way to bring a group of people together. My LinkedIn account is fizzing this morning. Highly recommended for any corporate hospitality event. I shall certainly be asking them to do something for my work soon.

An excellent tasting event!

I was fortunate to attend an excellent tasting event with the very knowledgeable and entertaining Tom Gilbey. I have been to a few where the chat was drier than the white... not so in this case. Fantastic wines, good atmosphere and brilliant hosting. Looking forward to booking Tom and team for one of our events; I can highly recommend them!

The perfect tour of Italian wine...

A brilliant evening wine tasting with the very entertaining Tom Gilbey. I came away feeling as though I'd learnt an awful lot in just one evening. Tom is extremely knowledgable, engaging and provided some of the most delicious wines I've had the pleasure of drinking.

Great tasting from Tom. A journey through Italy with a vibrant presentation, good humour which held the interest of our guests without the need to be wine buffs. Highly recommended.

A superbly delivered evening

A superbly delivered evening - wonderful format allowing us to enjoy and learn about the amazing wine Italy has to offer. A really good balance of wine, food and conversation. The ideal networking event - encouraged by Tom's ability to keep all the guests informed, without imposing himself upon the evening, encouraging a really relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Another excellent event from Tom!!

We've used Tom and his team for a number of corporate events and they never fail to impress. We recently held a Champagne Tasting for high value clients who have raved about the experience. Our clients rated the event 4.8/5 and Tom as host 4.9/5 - the numbers speak for themselves!

One of the best wine experiences I’ve ever had. Tom selected multiple great wines to enjoy alongside our excellent dinner and described what we might look for. He is a humorous and charming addition to your group’s evening!

Wine tasting with a difference

I have known Tom for over 20 years and he and his team are excellent sommeliers. They have a superb knowledge of wine, vineyards and the wine regions.

Tom organises the most fantastic evenings, providing a selection of stunning wines and imparting detailed knowledge of each wine all served with a good measure of humour.

Following a wine tasting evening, Tom can supply a case of the particular red or white, or indeed all, that delighted your taste buds straight to your door.

I would thoroughly recommend Tom to anyone looking to host a wine tasting event for a private or corporate occassion.

We had an invite from Lightside…

We had an invite from Lightside Planning Financial Company. As it was our first cheese and wine zoom experience we were not sure what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised. The evening was fun lighthearted and very informative. Tom put everyone at ease with his friendly casual manner. He advised us on the various different wines that had been sent to us to try explaining how best to sample them and gave us some background on where they were from and included a quiz which was also interesting, he didn't force his opinions on but let us decide for ourselves what we thought and was a very enjoyable experience and as promised followed up with an email answering some of the questions asked and a guide of where to purchase some decent wines including the ones we tried that night and would recommend anyone interested to give it a go it was thoroughly enjoyable 😀

WOW! Virtual wine tasting

Ahead of our virtual wine tasting, we received a fantastic package including 4 different wines, several cheeses, biscuits, relish and accessories. We weren't sure what to expect as we hadn't taken part in a wine tasting before, and are certainly no experts on wine! We had a fantastic time - Tom was very knowledgable, informative, interesting, humourous and he taught us a lot about the wines. It really was an enjoyable evening and we would highly recommend to others.
