The Business Leaders Wine Club, Virtual Wine Tasting, 12/3/2026

Sip and Connect : A Virtual Wine & Networking Experience

We’re thrilled to partner with ONLE Networking, the online networking community that connects the practical and personal sides of business, for an evening of wine and meaningful connections.

This exclusive online wine-tasting experience combines the richness of great wines with ONLE’s commitment to fostering authentic business relationships.

We’ll be raising a glass as part of our celebrations for Welsh Wine Week this month.  We have a very special tasting lineup to showcase wines from the talented Robb Merchant of White Castle Vineyard.

Nestled in the rolling countryside near Abergavenny, White Castle Vineyard has become one of the leading names in Welsh winemaking, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Monmouthshire and the passion of its founders, Robb and Nicola Merchant.

Robb’s wines have garnered acclaim both at home and abroad, including making history as the first Welsh vineyard to win a Gold at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards, with further recognition in subsequent years. Their range spans elegant sparkling wines, expressive Pinot and richly characterful reds, all crafted with a commitment to quality and a deep connection to the land. If Welsh wine isn’t yet on your radar, prepare to be pleasantly surprised by what this fast-rising region has to offer.

Final wine selections will be revealed during the event — we can’t wait to share them with you.

Spaces are limited, so grab yours early – and bring your most adventurous taste buds.

All the wines will be served blind, so you will have to wait to find out what you are tasting!

But it’s not just about wine, it’s about building connections. With three breakout sessions lasting 10 minutes each, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and engage with as many attendees as possible, creating connections that blend the personal and professional.
