Private Sommelier Services

Private & Corporate Wine Tasting Hires

What if we tell you that you can now hire a private sommelier to make any of the events you are hosting extra special?

 

Our wine tastings can be held at the comfort of your own home or we can find a private room for you. Our wine tastings are bespoke to your specific requirements and we will be there working closely with you to make your ideas become a reality. We are also flexible, being able to adapt and incorporate our wine tastings into a larger event, fitting in its identity. 

At Fìon we also provide unique wine experiences for businesses that wish to add an extra touch to an event. Call it team building, press conferences, receptions or celebrations, we can mimic the motif in both a formal or entertaining way. If required we can also provide a discreet VIP service for our clients and guests, providing top of the range references.

Why hiring us?

Miguel and Vera run Fìon since 2021. Since then, they have establish themselves as the reference for wine events, pop-ups, and private & corporate tastings in Scotland.  The pair have more than 12 years of experience in the industry, both having work in some of the best wine bars and fine dining restaurants within Edinburgh's scene. 

Miguel has been recently listed within the UK's Top 50 Sommeliers ranked in 7th position. He also works as a panellist for some wine magazines, and is becoming one of the leading voices when talking about wines from the Atlantic regions, being hire to run Masterclasses, and to speak at wine conferences. Recently he is also developing his career as a wine writer. 

What do we offer at our private & corporate tastings?

 

As private sommeliers, we will be taking care of the following areas for you to have an easier life:

​​

  • We will pick your wines from an extensive selection within our importers' portfolios. 

  • We will give advice regarding the set-up, quantities needed and performance of the wine service during the event.

  • If any catering service has already been hired, we can work alongside them, training their staff, to make sure the wine service runs smoothly and flawlessly.

  • Appropriate harmonization of the food served with our chosen wines.

  • We can also supply utensils and equipment required to run the wine service if necessary.

  • Despite our recommendation of giving us at least a couple of weeks of notice, “last minute” events are also welcome. We are more than happy to cater your wines quickly and efficiently to your needs. 

At our tastings we showcase 6 different wines in the tasting to render it more interesting and to help you discover new regions/producers/styles of wines. We pour an average of 75ml of each of the wines. Our pricing will include the sommelier fee (2 hours of tasting), the price of the bottles, and glass rental. Do not hesitate to send us an email to enquire about our prices: info@fionwines.co.uk  ​​

We are based in Scotland, which is where we run our private and corporate tastings. We would be happy to assist with a tasting in the rest of the UK but transportation and accommodation costs will need to be covered.​
