Gay Cheese and Wine Evening
Description
| Have a Mer’lot of fun meeting fellow gay wine enthusiasts during this full-bodied evening of Old World wines and newfound single friends. Mingle with like-minded fellas as you explore a curated selection of vinos—who knows, you might just discover a great match (in your glass or across the table!). Add a delicious cheese and charcuterie board into the mix, and you’ve got all the ingredients for some truly perfect pairings.
You’ll be welcomed at 19:15 by your It’s a Date host, who will show you where to leave your jacket and introduce you to the rest of the group. From there, you’ll enjoy three 125ml servings of hand-selected wines — typically a red, a white, and either a rosé or sparkling option. Pairing notes will be provided to give insight into each wine’s origins, add context to the flavours, and offer easy conversational cues as we explore the wines (and each other) throughout the evening. Mid-way through, we’ll share a selection of cheeses and charcuterie — the ideal accompaniment to a relaxed, organic, and sociable night out. Throughout the event, your host will make introductions and ensure everyone has plenty of opportunities to mingle and connect. We’ll wrap up around 21:00, after which the bar will remain open for a glass from your favourite bottle and the chance to continue socialising more widely. Once home, you can access a list of attendees on your It’s a Date dashboard to send match feedback and organise those second dates. A match is struck when two guests reciprocate identical feedback, indicating mutual intent to reconnect and enabling messaging via our online platform. If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with Ollie on 07517 065 492 or ollie@itsadate.club. |
Venue: The Otherist, 111 Old Broad St, London EC2N 1AP
