A private wine dinner can be a celebration, an intimate catch-up or a corporate occasion. Before selecting wines, agree on the guest profile, preferred atmosphere, expected headcount and budget range. A small seated dinner calls for different logistics from a standing reception.
Confirm venue, timing and responsibilities
Check whether the venue permits alcohol service and what its corkage, glassware, staffing and outside-supplier rules require. Establish who is responsible for food, event coordination, wine supply and transport. Written confirmation prevents last-minute misunderstandings.
Plan the wine around the meal
A useful brief includes cuisine, dietary requirements, number of courses, guest preferences and non-alcoholic alternatives. Ask the wine supplier to recommend quantities and styles rather than assuming one bottle fits every table.
Build a realistic enquiry
Share the date, location, guest count, format and preferred range of wine with Fine Wines. Our team can review the event enquiry and explore options with suitable partners. Wine sales and delivery remain subject to licensed supplier confirmation.
