Alcohol-Free Taster/Discovery Session
Explore the world of alcohol-free drinks through a guided tasting experience designed to challenge expectations and expand your palate. This session focuses on a carefully selected range of alcohol-free wines, beers, spirits, sparkling teas and sodas - each chosen to showcase the quality, craftsmanship and diversity now emerging within the category.
Whether you’re cutting back, alcohol-free, or simply curious, this is an opportunity to discover just how far these drinks have come.
Led with insight and a passion for the category, the session goes beyond simply tasting. You’ll learn about the different production methods used to create alcohol-free drinks - from de-alcoholisation techniques to innovative fermentation and blending processes - helping you understand what’s in your glass and why it tastes the way it does. We’ll also explore how to taste alcohol-free drinks on their own merits, moving away from comparison and towards appreciation of their unique flavour profiles, textures and balance.
Relaxed, social and informative, this experience is designed to build confidence and curiosity in equal measure. You’ll taste a diverse range of styles, discover new favourites, and leave with a clearer understanding of how to choose alcohol-free drinks that suit your taste and occasion.
Functional Drinks Taster/Discovery Session
Step into a guided discovery of alcohol-free “mood enhancing” functional drinks - a new and exciting way to explore how we drink, socialise, and support our wellbeing.
This fast-growing category is redefining the no and low space, offering thoughtfully crafted drinks designed to help you tap into the positive feelings often associated with alcohol - from relaxation and sociability to focus and uplift - without the downsides. Whether you’re completely new to functional drinks or simply curious about what’s out there, these sessions offer a welcoming introduction to a category that can feel complex at first glance.
Led by an experienced judge from The World Alcohol-Free Awards, each session combines expert insight with an approachable, enjoyable tasting experience. You’ll be guided through a carefully curated selection of alcohol-free beers, wines, spirits and sodas, all infused with functional ingredients such as adaptogens and nootropics. Along the way, we’ll demystify what these ingredients are - from ashwagandha to lion’s mane - and explore how they are used to support different mood states, including calm, energy, focus and connection.
These sessions are designed to be relaxed, social and genuinely engaging - a chance to discover new flavours, learn something new, and better understand how to choose drinks that align with how you want to feel. Whether you’re looking to unwind, boost your mood, or simply try something different, you’ll leave with practical knowledge, great recommendations, and a new perspective on alcohol-free drinking - all without the hangover.
