Frequently asked questions
How is the tasting priced?
Per person, for two to ten, with Riva, skipper, wines and food included. The exact figure depends on the format and the menu: I confirm it in my reply.
Can I choose the wines?
Yes. The base is local; a specific bottle or vintage I will source and add separately.
Can it be arranged for a birthday or a proposal?
Yes, and I often do. Cake, flowers, a photographer on board: tell me in the notes and I will prepare it discreetly.
Where do I eat if it rains?
In light rain you dine under the canopy. In strong wind or storms I move the tasting at no cost, or refund you in full.
