It's that time of year again; I spotted the first Xmas decorations up on 1st September, so it must be time to plan our Northern Ireland wine private tastings and other wine events.
At xmas, we like to get into the spirit with our Santa's Wine Flight tasting, a highlight among our Northern Ireland wine offerings. We start off with some bubbles to reflect that excitement bubbling away on xmas eve. Then we follow Santa as he works his way around the time zones, landing first in New Zealand, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, France, and the Americas. After his work is done, Santa relaxes with a little Port, making this an ideal event for our private tastings and wine events.
We shall be visiting the fantastic venues that have partnered with us throughout the year in Portaferry, Cloughey, Ards & Bangor, where we will host private tastings and exciting Northern Ireland wine events.
If you have a venue where you would like to host us for a Northern Ireland wine xmas tasting or if you’re interested in organizing private tastings for friends at your home, please contact us using the link in the bottom right corner of the website.
Each of the private tastings will feature charcuterie provided by either Port of Graze or The Big Cheese Belfast, enhancing the experience of our Northern Ireland wine events.

Our favourite tasting of the year, 'Santa's Wine Flight,' is back, and this time it’s a home edition. Join us as we embark on a journey through the time zones, following Santa on his Christmas Eve mission, one glass of Northern Ireland wine at a time. This private tasting experience is one of the many exciting wine events we have planned for the season.
I am David Mason (Maso), and I work with a selection of partners and helpers. With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality world, I decided to focus on wine when the small fine dining restaurant I managed closed. Currently, I collaborate with Robert Neill Wines, where we host Northern Ireland wine events and private tastings, including Maso's Wine Nights.
Our aim is to demystify Northern Ireland wine and make it accessible to people who may find the idea of a wine masterclass or private tastings daunting. The focus is on providing a fun evening, exploring the story and personality behind the wines featured in our wine events.
Wines are supplied and available from Robert Neill Wines in Helens Bay & Groomsport, offering a selection of Northern Ireland wine perfect for private tastings and wine events. Charcuterie is supplied and available from The Big Cheese Belfast.

Digital Circles invited me along to their podcast to discuss our unique role in the hospitality industry, including our focus on Northern Ireland wine, our private tastings, and how we organize engaging wine events that set us apart from others.
