Harvey's Wines - Lunches or Dinners

These can be used very effectively for client entertaining, and we match wines to the specific foods or have a particular wine theme. Can be provided in-house or at a restaurant of your choice. Our Burgundy luncheon, for example is particularly popular for entertaining major clients.

As consultants in food and wine matching to leading restaurants, Harvey’s are well-placed to guide you and your guests through the extensive, fascinating and often revealing world of food and wine matching.

Hosted by a qualified wine expert, but geared to promote networking amongst the guests, these offer a superb combination of good food, good wine, and a little knowledge to be gained, in an environment very conducive to networking. Themes can be based on the wines, the food or a particular country, and we work with a number of restaurants that will create special menus to match our wines. Our wine expert will introduce each wine prior to every course and give some explanation why that wine has been selected. Guests are then free to socialise but the wine expert will be on-hand throughout to answer questions and give little nuggets of information.

From £40 per head depending on food and wine selection. Minimum 10 people. We can advise on the most popular.

The 'I Can't Believe That's Just Happened' Event

This is something completely different where we are holding an informal wine tasting, but our waiters and waitresses turn out to be not quite as professional as you would expect!

Watch with delight as unlikely canapés are nibbled, guests search in vain for the waitress's lost contact lens, and whilst an uncouth waiter takes a sneaky swig from a hidden bottle of wine, can that maintenance man really be changing a light bulb in the middle of the event? Amazing to watch your guests embarrassment before they start to realise one by one that this is a hilarious spoof! All with wine.

From £50 per head. Minimum 20 people.
