The Story

About The Wine Fan

Hello, I’m Michael. also known as The.Winefan on social media. I am passionate about wine and sharing my love for wine. There is a story of how I became interested in wine, nearly 30 years ago but we’ll save that for another day. What is important is that I am not a wine snob; my number one rule is “if you like it then it’s a good wine”.

I meet many people who wish they liked and enjoyed wine more but are unsure and worry it is snobby and expensive. My events remove those fears, I make enjoying wine easy and fun, and I share my passion, whether it’s a tailored event for your business, a private experience or for friends and family at my scheduled events.

Use my 3 easy steps below or the contact form, lets chat and begin a journey of discovery.

Testimonials

Thank you The Wine Fan for an amazing evening, fab setting, great fun, lots of amazing wines, would highly recommend.

Jo Goddard, Hays Travel

The Wine Fan created an event so that I could say thank you to my best customers, my brief was, ensure everyone has fun and the wines are good. Well the event exceeded my expectations, I found I like wines that I didn’t even know about and my customers were delighted, each wanting a repeat.

Scott Beardsmore, M.D SB Building Supplies Ltd.

Fantastic evening, we enjoyed ourselves so much, thank you.

We spent a very enjoyable evening at the Argentinian wine tasting event held at Wild Tango in Leicester. We were in great company with a lovely fun group of people. Michael led the evening with a delicious variety of 5 wines interspersed with tasting dishes of lovely Argentinian dishes, it was an interesting and informative evening learning about how the various wines are created, the 4 ‘s’s (you have to come to an event to find out more 😉) and pairing with food! We definitely recommend for anyone that likes drinking wine!

Anna Maudsley

We had a fantastic evening at The Plough, tasting and learning about five new wines. Thanks to Michael’s expertise, we now have a much better understanding of grapes and why different wines taste the way they do. The night was made even more enjoyable with a delicious charcuterie board and the warm hospitality of our wonderful and informative host, Michael, along with the friendly and welcoming Nicola. We’ll definitely be back to explore more!

Jane M

I had the great pleasure of having a wine tasting as a birthday present from my amazing Mum – she knew I’d have hated a party! We had the most fantastic evening with Michael’s great presentation skills, and in-depth knowledge of the wines’ origins, characteristics and vinification. Michael’s passion for wine really shone through, and he made it a really enjoyable experience – not at all like a teacher in a classroom! The atmosphere on the evening was both relaxed and engaging. It was the perfect way to celebrate, and to create some wonderful memories. Oh and a hangover!! Yes, tastings are generous! I must mention too that the friendliness of Michael’s lovely partner added to the occasion with her friendly manner, and the delicious ‘nibbles’ she provided to pair with the wines. This is the second time I have been to one of The Wine Fan’s presentations:each was very different, but equally engaging. Thank you so much for such a lovely evening, for sharing your expertise, and for providing such a fun evening for us all. I highly recommend The Wine Fan for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable wine experience – from novice to connoisseur, you won’t be disappointed.

Paul Stretton

We attend the South American wine tasting at The Plough. An absolutely fantastic night. Michael is so enthusiastic and informative. The wine choices were fantastic and the information about each wine and the Q & A was well handled, fun and informative. A thoroughly enjoyable night. Thank you.

Andy Miles

We attended a wine tasting evening at The Old Inn on Friday. The whole experience was informative and interesting. The wines chosen were nicely varied and your passion & knowledge is commendable. We all enjoyed the evening & would definitely recommend this event and will certainly be booking again.
