The Big Taste Abu Dhabi

Think of this as your passport to vino – no queues, no customs, just pure grape-driven wanderlust. With 30+ producers from 10+ countries, we’re serving up sun-drenched reds, cool-climate whites, cheeky rosés, and a few rare bottles that make other bottles jealous. Every pour is a mini holiday and every sip tells a story – from vineyard gossip to terroir tea.

The good bits – quick facts

Date: 26th September
Time: 7PM-10PM
Location: Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi
Price: AED 200 (general admission – includes tastings + canapés)

What to expect (no boring bits, promise)

Unlimited tastings – yes, unlimited. Taste widely, decide later.
Light canapés through the evening (cheese lovers, this is your love letter).
Meet the people behind the labels – winemakers actually like chatting about their babies (the bottles).
A relaxed, fun vibe: perfect to learn something new or to show off your “I-know-my-pinot” moves.

A tiny bit of sensible advice

Bring photo ID (they take adulthood seriously). Wear smart-casual – glam or comfy, you do you. Pace yourself, sip between bites, and don’t be shy to ask questions – winemakers love questions almost as much as they love good soil.

So – fancy a world tour without the jet lag? Grab your ticket, bring a friend (or make new ones), and let’s uncork an evening of flavour, laughter, and tiny-toasty food pairings. See you at The Big Taste – where every bottle is a boarding pass.
