What the business does
The operator hosts ticketed wine tastings with a networking format: a short tasting, a seating plan that mixes tables, and a follow-up so introductions do not die in the car park. Private and corporate cellar nights sit alongside the public calendar. Growth is a regular room in one town, then a second night, not a national franchise fantasy.
How it makes money
- Set the date and room
- Confirm wine and tasting notes
- Sell tickets or a private booking

Forecast preview
Event nights are lumpy. The preview averages a regular cellar diary and should be read with a bookings calendar, not as a retainer. Wine and room costs move with the venue.
