Spring equinox + upcoming events!

Spring equinox + upcoming events!

Happy spring equinox!

Nature’s season of birth and growth has arrived in the northern hemisphere after a necessary period of hibernation. The light and warmth of these days also mark the beginning of a new vineyard cycle – and a reminder of mother nature’s wisdom, despite what goes on in the human-made world. 

2026 has been an exciting one so far. We opened the year with a special event dedicated to Mexican natural wine (!). A couple of weeks ago, we paid homage to the key role that women have played in agriculture and the wine ecosystem for centuries. Thank you to everyone who joined those events!

So many of you have shared a desire to learn more about what’s in your glass, so the tastings are now bringing deeper educational insights, within the same fun and relaxed Vinjoyment atmosphere. As always, you’ll only be discovering exciting, high-quality wines made in harmony with nature.

I look forward to seeing you at any of the upcoming events (see below) and I wish you a wonderful spring!


The Dark Side of White: a deep dive into ‘orange wine’ - SAT 11 APR, 3PM

ONLY A FEW SEATS LEFT

Did you know that ‘orange’ wine is the original white wine? Far from a modern fad, skin-contact wine has its roots in ancient traditions (including in Georgia). Some of the most delicious and exciting wines in the world today are ‘orange’ !

In this tasting, we will dig into the full spectrum of the skin-contact method, from easy-drinking light golden hues to deeper, amber wines full of personality. This is an excellent opportunity to discover your personal favourites!


Going with the Flow: River Wines - SAT 9 MAY, 3PM

From the Loire and the Rhône in France, to the Douro in Portugal and the Danube in Central Europe, amongst others, some of the world’s most fabulous vineyards thrive thanks to the influence of nearby rivers. And the resulting wines are simply dreamy!

We will explore the key role that rivers play across many winemaking regions, and we will taste the unique and wonderful wines that exemplify the collaboration between earth, water, wind and sunlight. Not to be missed!


Catalan Soul - SAT 6 JUNE, 3PM

I'm thrilled to dedicate this tasting to Catalonia – one of the most fascinating wine regions!

Defined by ‘Mar i Muntanya’ (sea and mountain), this unique Mediterranean landscape produces vibrant wines that prove Catalonia is much more than just Cava. 

This very special line-up will include the wines closest to our hearts – ranging from fresh styles on the coast to wild, elegant wines from the mountains.


Private events

It’s been wonderful to host several private events in the past few months! If you’re interested in a bespoke wine tasting / workshop for a group of friends, colleagues or family, just let me know and I can help you create a wonderful experience.

Curated wine boxes

Thank you to everyone who has purchased Vinjoyment wine boxes curated by me - I love putting them together! I’m working to make this a more regular service for those who would like it, so please let me know if you’d be interested!
