Expert-Led Wine Tastings, Wherever You Are
Rooted Wines is a female-founded team of certified wine experts running wine tasting events, wine tasting classes and bespoke tastings across London and the UK. Whether it's a corporate away-day, a wine dinner with clients or a date night, we come to your office or chosen venue and bring everything with us: a curated selection of wine, glassware, tasting notes and a host who knows every bottle in the cellar.
Our regular tastings are hands-on and genuinely informative, led by a certified expert who guides you through pairing wine with food, tasting wine side by side, and spotting the difference between a bold Pinot Noir and something lighter on the palate.
You'll pick up on the flavours and aromas that separate great wine from an average bottle, and leave with a sharper sense of what you actually like to sip and spend on. It's the kind of amazing evening wine lovers ask us to repeat, whether you already know your way around a wine bar or you're tasting wine properly for the first time.
Why Choose Rooted Wines
Certified Wine Experts
Every tasting is led by a certified wine expert who guides your guests through each pour, from the region and the grape to what to expect on the palate. You get real knowledge and an entertaining experience, not just a glass in hand.
Female-Founded & Independent
Rooted Wines is a proudly female-founded, independent team who care about getting every detail right, from the wine selection to the way your event runs on the day.
Everything Brought to Your Venue
We come to you, anywhere in the UK. Wine, glassware, tasting notes and expert hosting all arrive ready to go, so there's nothing for you to organise. Prefer a private room or a dedicated venue instead? We can arrange that too, giving you access to spaces and wineries you won't find on your own.
A Curated Cellar, Not a Catalogue
Every bottle we pour has been personally tasted and selected by our team. Whether it's a bold red, a crisp white wine or something from a region most guests have never tried, nothing on the table comes from a list we haven't sampled ourselves.

Co-founder
Daria Ilina
I’m a wine educator and a certified wine professional with WSET Level 3, FWS and IWS certifications.
I love carefully planning and personally guiding our boutique wine tours through those historic and emerging wine regions, handpicking the best wineries and sights to create unforgettable experiences.
My favourite wine is Syrah from Hermitage, Northern Rhône.
Co-founder
Svitlana Baldina
I am the co-founder of Rooted Wines and provide legal support for the project. Law and wine have more in common than one might think — both require experience, patience, and a deep respect for detail.
Traveling through Armenia, a country with one of the world’s oldest wine traditions, constantly reminds me of the value of history, craftsmanship, and time. These principles shape both my professional work and our journeys at Rooted Wines.
My favourite wine is Areni, from Vayots Dzor, Armenia.
Business Development & Marketing Manager
Daria Stepanova
My passion for wine began while studying at an Austrian university known for its focus on wine business, where I was first introduced to the world behind the bottle.
Since then, I’ve explored wine cultures in more than 20 countries. Living in Georgia and traveling to Armenia made me truly fall in love with these regions and their traditions. Today, I’m happy to help others discover them through wine, culture, and unforgettable journeys.
My favourite wine is Austrian Riesling.
Wine Tours in Armenia & Georgia
For guests who want a fuller occasion than a single evening, we also run immersive wine tours through some of the world's most ancient wine regions, Armenia and Georgia. Taste extraordinary wine at the source, walk the vine rows with the winemakers who tend them, and discover some of the oldest winemaking traditions on earth. Expect a wonderful mix of complexity, fruit and history in every glass served, alongside cellars, family-run wineries and flavours you won't find on a shelf back home.
What Our Clients Say
“I've attended several of their wine tastings and have been consistently impressed by the professionalism, expertise, and hospitality of the team. The wine selections are carefully curated, and each tasting offers a fascinating insight into wines. I've learned a great deal from every event while enjoying an excellent selection of wines. I would happily attend again and highly recommend their tastings and services.”
Valeriya C.
“The tour was perfectly organized, and our wine expert Daria, made every tasting and visit engaging and informative with her knowledge and passion for wine. Now I’m basically an Armenian wine expert, hehe! We learned so many fascinating things and tasted a wide variety of incredible wines along the way. If you're looking for an unforgettable wine and cultural experience, I can't recommend Rooted Wines enough!”
Natalie A.
“I recently went on a wine tour in Armenia, and it completely changed my perspective on traveling. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared insights with such passion and eloquence that I could have listened to them for hours on end. In fact, the experience was so profound that I’ve completely lost interest in standard sightseeing. From now on, I only want to go on tasting tours! The best part is that you don't even have to travel abroad to experience this. You can simply book Rooted Wines for your own event, and their expert will absolutely make you fall in love with wine.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a corporate wine tasting work?
A certified wine expert hosts an interactive tasting at your office or chosen venue. We bring the wine, glassware and tasting notes, set everything up, and guide your group through each pour, no organising required on your part.
Do you come to our office or venue?
Yes, we come to you anywhere in London and across the UK, bringing everything needed for the tasting. If you'd prefer a private room or a dedicated venue instead, we can arrange that for an additional cost.
How many people can you accommodate?
Confirm minimum and maximum group sizes for tastings (e.g. “from X up to Y guests”).
Which areas of London do you cover?
We're based in London and cover the whole city, plus the rest of the UK on request. Pricing outside London may vary depending on travel and event requirements, so contact us for details.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for the summer and festive seasons when corporate dates and private events fill quickly. Get in touch, and we'll do our best to accommodate your preferred date.
Can you accommodate vegetarian or dietary needs?
Yes. We do our best to accommodate dietary needs and restrictions when notified in advance, so let us know at the time of booking.

It depends on the package you pick. The entry-level tasting includes four selected wines, a welcome drink and light snacks, while the higher tiers step things up with premium and Champagne welcome drinks and more refined food pairings.
