How it works
Proposal
After you contact us, we'll take your details and respond to your brief with a proposal, typically giving you a few options for the format.
Agree a date
If you have set a date, we'll check availability, otherwise we can help find a suitable date. Wednesdays and Thursdays are in the highest demand so we recommend booking early. Most events last for 2 hours but can be shorter or longer as required.
Number of guests
Please provide an estimate of how many guests to help us prepare a quote. Final guest numbers should be confirmed two weeks prior to the event.
Venue
We can host the tasting at your office or an alternative venue that is happy to accommodate us - here are some venues we have worked with or can recommend.
Catering
We suggest offering canapés, nibbles or cheese, along with water or light refreshments. You can arrange or we can recommend a caterer and coordinate food & wine pairings.
Tasting Kit
We supply all necessary equipment, including tasting glasses and spittoons. A qualified wine expert (WSET Level 3 or 4) will host the session, and additional staff may be needed, depending on the event size and format.
Terms & Conditions
Corporate bookings
To confirm an event with ThirtyFifty, a non-refundable 25% deposit is required within 10 working days of a provisional booking, based on the estimated number of guests.
Final guest numbers must be confirmed no later than 10 working days before the event; the full outstanding balance is due at this time.
Should the number of guests attending the event increase, the client will be invoiced for the additional guests after the event.
If the client cancels the tasting ThirtyFifty will charge the following cancellation fee:
If the booking is cancelled more than 10 working days before the event, ThirtyFifty will retain the deposit. This deposit can be applied to a future tasting if re-booked within 6 months.
Cancellations within 10 working days of the event will result in the retention of the deposit and the full balance as a cancellation fee.
