A Grape Pairing is for the group that wants the wine part of the weekend to involve slightly more than choosing whatever label looks nicest. The Liverpool wine bar works directly with family-run vineyards across Italy, importing the bottles itself and building its tastings around wines you are unlikely to find lined up in the supermarket at home.

The private tasting takes you through five Italian wines with charcuterie and food pairings alongside them. It feels relaxed rather than reverential, which is exactly what you want on a hen: enough guidance to actually learn something, but still fundamentally an afternoon spent drinking good wine and eating things from a board.
