What is Haydy Hosts…?
Haydy Hosts… aims to provide unique wine-tasting experiences tailored for all spaces, for all palettes and for all knowledge levels.
Why pick Haydy?
Hey, I’m Haydn Hubert-Squibb, aka Haydy. I’m a fun and informative wine tasting host with blue hair and a penchant for educating people on how accessible wine can be.
I specialise in creating engaging, unforgettable wine experiences tailored to your home, office, or venue. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just starting your journey, using my WSET Level 2 in Wines qualification, I’ll curate a tasting to suit your style and preferences. Expect a mix of wines, fun facts, and interactive moments that bring people together in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. From team-building office sessions to intimate gatherings at home, I handle all the details so you can enjoy the moment.
With a deep passion for wine and a knack for making events special, I’ll ensure your tasting is as informative as it is enjoyable. You provide the space; I’ll bring the knowledge, energy, and of course, the wine!
Let’s create an event your guests will toast to long after it’s over.
What can Haydy offer you?
Curated Wine Tastings: Featuring a selection of red, white, sparkling, and dessert wines. Each tasting can be customised to focus on regions (e.g., France, Italy), styles (e.g., New World vs. Old World), or themes (e.g., holiday wines, supermarket gems, affordable).
Taste-Led Events: Each tasting session will be led by a professional host who will educate participants on tasting techniques, wine profiles, and pairing recommendations.
Tasting Materials: Each attendee will receive a tasting kit including wine glasses (to be returned), and tasting notes.
Office Based Tastings
Haydy Hosts… aims to provide unique, in-office wine-tasting experiences tailored for corporate clients. These events offer team-building opportunities, client engagement, and relaxation within the comfort of the workplace. My service features carefully curated wines, expert guidance, and customisable themes to suit company cultures and objectives.
