Wine Meets Mixology Workshop

Earlybird: £60 if booked before the 5th June
Regular price: £75

Thursday 23rd July 2026, 6pm
Devil’s Dyke Distillery, Southwick. BN42 4RJ.

Where wine meets spirits, and networking feels a lot more delicious.

Join us at Devil’s Dyke Distillery for a relaxed evening of cocktails, wine, flavour, and connection in the distillery garden.

This special workshop brings together Devil’s Dyke Distillery and Elwood Wines for a unique tasting experience where carefully selected wines meet beautifully crafted cocktails.

Designed as part social, part workshop, part tasting experience, this is a chance to meet new people, make connections, chat over a glass, and enjoy something a little different from the usual networking event.

You’ll be welcomed with a drink on arrival before settling in for an interactive evening of flavour. During the workshop, you’ll create two delicious wine-inspired cocktails, using a mix of Devil’s Dyke spirits, wine, fresh ingredients, garnishes and mixers.

Throughout the evening, Faye will guide you through the cocktail-making side of things, showing you how to shake, stir, build and balance your drinks. Karl from Elwood Wines will talk you through the wines being used, sharing tasting notes, background, pairings and why they work so beautifully in cocktails.

Expect good drinks, good chat, and a few little “oh wow, that works” moments along the way.

There will also be cheese boards and snacks to graze on during the evening, because great wine, cocktails and conversations deserve great snacks.

After the workshop, the bar will stay open for an hour, so you can carry on chatting, enjoy a glass of wine, order a gin or cocktail, and sample more of the Devil’s Dyke Distillery spirits range.

If there’s a spirit you’d like to take home, you’ll receive 10% off bottle purchases on the night.

This is relaxed, sociable and interactive. Perfect for wine lovers, cocktail lovers, local business owners, freelancers, creatives, and anyone who fancies making new connections over something a little more exciting than warm prosecco and a bowl of crisps.
