🥃Whisky Tastings and Supper Clubs in Marlow — The Art of Taste and Connection
A Celebration of Craft and Company
Whisky Tastings and Supper Clubs by The Tasting Society.
There’s something quietly powerful about a whisky tasting. The clink of glass, the gentle warmth, and the stories hidden in each dram.
Pair that with a supper club — an intimate evening of fine food, conversation, and local flavour — and you have one of life’s simplest luxuries.
At The Tasting Society, we curate both Whisky Tastings and Supper Clubs. Whether hosted together or as separate experiences, whisky tastings and supper clubs in Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, and across Buckinghamshire are redefining what it means to dine well.

Whisky Tastings: A Journey Through Fire, Oak, and Time
Whisky is more than a drink — it’s a craft. Every distillery tells a story through its barrels, its water source, and its time in oak.
Our whisky tastings bring that story to life. Guests are guided through a curated selection of spirits — from bold Islay malts to smooth Speyside blends, and even new English whiskies crafted closer to home.
Each tasting explores:
- The flavour influence of cask type and age.
- How to nose, taste, and identify character.
- Pairings that complement food, cheese, or chocolate.
Whether held on their own or paired with a supper club dinner, these tastings are designed to educate, inspire, and connect.
Supper Clubs: Dining with Story and Soul
Our supper clubs are built around the same principle — bringing people together over exceptional flavour.
These evenings blend the intimacy of private dining with the creativity of fine food.
Menus change with the seasons:
- Slow-braised meats paired with a smoky Highland pour.
- Local cheeses served alongside a sherry-cask dram.
- Dark chocolate desserts finished with Speyside warmth.
Some evenings feature whisky pairings throughout the meal such as our combined Whisky Tastings and Supper Clubs — others simply include a tasting segment before dinner. Both formats are immersive, social, and deliciously unpretentious.
Combined or Separate — the Choice Is Yours
Not every whisky lover wants a full meal, and not every supper guest wants a guided tasting. That’s why we host both standalone and combined whisky tasting supper clubs across Buckinghamshire.
- Standalone whisky tastings focus on the craft, perfect for those eager to learn and compare spirits in depth.
- Standalone supper clubs celebrate seasonal dining and community, often with optional drink pairings.
- Combined evenings unite both — an indulgent exploration of food, flavour, and storytelling in one unforgettable night.
Each format offers something different — but all share the same goal: authentic experiences that bring people together.
Where to Experience Them
You’ll find whisky tastings and supper clubs popping up across:
- Marlow’s riverside restaurants and private venues

Frequently Asked Questions
Are whisky tastings and supper clubs held together?
Sometimes — it depends on the venue and format. Some evenings are pure tastings, others full dining events, and some combine both.
Do I need to be a whisky expert?
Not at all. Every event is relaxed, inclusive, and focused on enjoyment rather than expertise.
Can I book a private whisky tasting or supper club?
Yes. Private bookings are available for groups, celebrations, or corporate events across Marlow, Henley, and nearby areas.
The Spirit of the Evening
A glass of whisky and a shared meal may seem simple — but together, they create something memorable.
Each event, whether tasting or supper, is a chance to connect, learn, and savour.
Because the best evenings aren’t just about what’s poured or plated — they’re about the people at the table.
