Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean overpriced roses, awkward set menus and pretending you wanted the chocolate fondant.
We think a few excellent glasses of wine sounds considerably better.
Join us at Loki for a Valentine’s Wine Tasting built around delicious bottles, interesting stories and a little bit of friendly debate over which wine deserves your affection. Expect a carefully selected line-up spanning different grapes, regions and styles, with plenty to discover whether you’re deeply committed to wine or still happily playing the field.
Guided by one of Loki’s wine experts, you’ll taste your way through the selection while exploring what makes each wine distinctive. We’ll talk flavour, regions, winemaking and why certain bottles have that elusive quality that makes you immediately want another glass.
Come as a couple, bring a friend, gather a group or simply come because you really like wine. No candlelit declarations required.
What to Expect at Our Valentine’s Wine Tasting
- Taste a carefully selected line-up of wines from a range of regions and styles

- Learn about the grapes, producers and places behind each bottle
- Compare different styles and discover which wines win you over
- Pick up simple tasting tips to help you understand what you enjoy and why
- Enjoy expert-led guidance without any unnecessary wine snobbery
- Expect a few surprises, plenty of conversation and possibly a new favourite bottle
- Enjoy a relaxed and sociable Valentine’s tasting that works just as well for friends as it does for couples
What Might We Be Pouring?
The final line-up will be confirmed nearer the event, but expect wines with plenty of personality.
You might encounter:
- Something sparkling – because opening with bubbles is rarely a bad decision
- A fresh, aromatic white – bright, fragrant and very easy to fall for
- A richer white – textured, generous and deserving of a little more attention
- A silky Pinot Noir or similar light red – elegant, perfumed and charming without trying too hard
- Something bold and spicy – because every line-up needs a little drama
- A richer, indulgent red – full-bodied, warming and made for lingering over
- Something sweet to finish – because even we’ll admit Valentine’s Day deserves a little indulgence
The final wines may vary depending on availability, but every bottle will be carefully selected to make the evening interesting, varied and thoroughly enjoyable.
Who Should Join the Valentine’s Wine Tasting?
- Couples looking for a date night that doesn’t involve another three-course set menu

No Grand Romantic Gestures Required
You don’t need to know anything about wine.
You don’t need to arrive with a date.
And you definitely don’t need to pretend you can smell twelve different varieties of rose petal in your glass.
Just bring good company, curiosity and an appetite for discovering something delicious.
After all, finding a wine you love is much easier than dating.
