Sip, discover and socialise at The George with guided tastings, a welcome drink, grazing board and relaxed drinks conversation.

Discover something new, one sip at a time. 🍷

Join us at New SIPS Secret Bar at The George for SIPS Social – an intimate and relaxed evening dedicated to discovering, tasting and talking about great drinks.

Every SIPS Social is different – and that’s part of the experience. Each month will feature a new selection of drinks alongside a specially chosen grazing menu, with both kept a mystery until the evening itself. Simply take your seat, raise a glass and discover what we have in store.

⚠️ IMPORTANT – ALLERGIES & DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

As the drinks and grazing menu will remain a mystery until the evening of the event, please let us know about any allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements in advance so our team can make suitable arrangements wherever possible. Please contact events@thegeorgehotelcolchester.co.uk before attending.

Each event could take you into the world of wines, spirits, beers or ciders, with a knowledgeable host guiding you through the evening. You’ll discover new flavours, learn more about what you’re drinking and pick up some of the language and knowledge behind your favourite tipples – without the formality of a traditional tasting. 🍻

For our regular tasting evenings, knowledge and insight will be sourced directly from our supplier experts at Molson Coors, while selected editions will welcome specialist guest hosts, sommeliers, local merchants and vineyards to share their expertise and introduce something a little different.

Whether you’re already passionate about drinks or simply fancy trying something new, SIPS Social is about great drinks, great food, good conversation – and a little element of surprise.

Your £55 ticket includes:

Entry to SIPS Social

Welcome drink

Five mystery tasting drinks

A specially selected charcuterie-style tapas/grazing board to share

Guided tasting and relaxed discussion

Exclusive discounts available at the end of the event

The drinks and grazing selection will change each month and remain under wraps until the evening – so every SIPS Social brings something new to discover.

Please remember: if you have any allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements, contact events@thegeorgehotelcolchester.co.uk in advance so our team can prepare accordingly.

Sip. Discover. Socialise.

SIPS Social takes place on the second Sunday of each month, with each edition offering something new to discover.

From wine and spirits to beer and cider, look out for different themes and occasional special guest hosts throughout the year.
