    Private Client & Journalist Tastings in London for 15 to 20 Guests for Taylor Wessing

    This was a series of smaller, more considered tastings, built around a clear story.

    Taylor Wessing were celebrating 15 years in London, alongside the opening of two new offices in Paris and Milan.

    So the wines needed to do more than just taste good. They needed to connect the dots.

    An English sparkling to represent London.
    A French wine. An Italian wine.

    And a 15-year-old bottle to mark the milestone.

    A selection of wine bottles, including Bollinger Champagne, Barolo and Californian red wine, on a drinks table

    Simple on paper, but it gave the room something to hold onto.

    Each wine had a reason to be there. Each one opened a different conversation.

    Result:
    Highly engaged groups, with guests connecting not just through the wines, but through the story behind them.

    Testimonial:
    “Thoughtful, well-paced and exactly right for our audience. Elizabeth has a natural ability to read the room.”, Rupert Winlaw, Taylor Wessing
