Taste Of The Grape runs corporate wine tastings and private wine tasting parties; all our events are as entertaining as they are educational. We believe that even though there’s so much to explore about wine, it should be fun to learn about it, and most of all a pleasure to drink.
So, no lectures, plenty of entertainment, exciting wine – an event to remember!
Taste Of The Grape is a family owned business.
Founder Tim Syrad has been educating and entertaining people about wine for over 20 years.

Fliss Syrad of Taste of the Grape
Fliss Syrad, Tim’s wife, left her career in corporate strategy to work with Tim in 2012. Like Tim she holds the prestigious WSET Diploma, and was recently awarded the Vintners Cup for coming top of all Diploma students worldwide. She has broad experience of conducting wine tastings with groups of all sizes and backgrounds, and loves conveying her passion and knowledge in an informal and entertaining way.
