I hosted a private networking evening for Rostrum at Lady of the Grapes, and what a night it was. Twenty-two guests, fully booked, surprising no on-the-day drop outs, and such a buzz that no one wanted to leave. The goal was simple: bring marketing leaders from law firms together, make introductions, and let conversation flow naturally over great wine and food. We tasted four standout wines: - Oxney English Sparkling: crafted by the brilliant Kristen, who swapped PR

I hosted a private milestone dinner for Hogan Lovells and Vodafone, celebrating a 10-year working partnership on a major case. Twelve guests. Senior. Relationship-focused. No speeches. Just a table. We chose a private room at Mount Street Restaurant, warm, art-filled, intimate without feeling closed in. We opened with English Blanc de Blancs and a simple question: Would you confidently order English sparkling from a wine list? Curiosity replaced small talk almost immediately.

Some corporate dinners feel transactional. Others feel memorable. The difference is rarely the food or the venue — it’s the atmosphere around the table. When wine is used thoughtfully, it becomes a catalyst for conversation, curiosity and connection rather than the focus of the evening itself. Recently, I hosted a private milestone dinner celebrating a 10-year working partnership between Hogan Lovells and Vodafone. With just twelve guests, all senior and relationship-focus

Last year, I hosted my largest event to date — a Wine Safari for 80 guests on the rooftop of Bank of New York Mellon. For the first time, I wasn’t pouring solo. I was joined by two brilliant women in wine: Corinne Seely, winemaker at Exton Park and former youngest female winemaker in Bordeaux Kirsty Woodgate, wine expert and long-time industry colleague Together, we led guests through a tasting journey of wines owned or made by women, from classic Margaux to sta

Ropes & Gray asked me to design a wine experience to mark 15 years of business in the UK, alongside the opening of new offices in Paris and Milan. This was a significant moment for the firm not just an anniversary. From the outset, the brief was clear: the wines needed to mean something. This wasn’t about showcasing prestige for its own sake; it was about telling the firm’s story through the glass. Elizabeth & Wine designed a tasting that mirrored the business journey:

A recent event at the Farm Shop on Audley Street was a perfect reminder of how much craft and care sits behind truly good food and wine.  Hand-cut charcuterie, farmhouse cheeses, and a line-up of bottles that sparked real conversation around the table. We started with Gusbourne’s Blanc de Blancs 2019, made by Mary Bridges, who became Head Winemaker at 30. It’s a gold-winning wine with serious pedigree (it was poured at Buckingham Palace during the London Olympics), and

Another brilliant Elizabeth & Wine tasting - this time with Kingsley Napley, exploring how thoughtful food and wine pairings can transform a table. We began with the cooler, more elegant cousin to Prosecco: Castelveder Franciacorta Rosé from Italy. From there, Samantha O’Keefe’s barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc from Lismore (South Africa) brought texture and depth (a real standout). Our journey continued through Beaujolais with Nicole Chanrion’s vibrant Côte de Brouilly 2019

Throwback to a recent corporate wine tasting at Allen & Overy. With 10 new team members joining the firm, we spent the afternoon building confidence around wine — breaking down the jargon, decoding tasting notes, and exploring how food and wine pairing actually works in practice. We covered questions that come up again and again at corporate events and client dinners: • What wines work best with spicy food? • What should you serve with lamb (beyond simply “a red”)? • How

“Phenomenal.” When I founded my wine business, my goal was simple: to be taken seriously in the wine industry. At the first wine event I attended, no one took me seriously. Until I met Claire Allan from Huia, who showed me extraordinary kindness and helped me find the confidence to take those vital first steps in the world of wine. Today, I deliver corporate wine tastings and wine education events for some of the world’s largest financial services companies and leading

To celebrate International Women’s Day, global law firm Paul Hastings partnered with Elizabeth & Wine to host a memorable client event focused on one of my favourite topics: women in wine. The evening brought together key clients from the firm’s Energy & Infrastructure practice for an engaging and interactive wine tasting in the heart of Soho, at the Champagne bar inside the legendary Kettner’s. During the tasting, we went “behind the label” to explore the stories of fe

EssenceMediacom helps brands to break through in the new economy - and the company recently gathered an impressive group of 30 female leaders in brand, marketing and communications from organisations including Cancer Research UK (CRUK), Costa, TUI and NBCUniversal to mark International Women’s Day 2024. It really was an evening to remember as Essencemediacom took over Lady of the Grapes - a cute French wine bar founded by Carole Bryon on Covent Garden’s Maiden Lane. 90% of
