Created by leading non-alcoholic wine brand NON, NONHQ is redefining how wine is celebrated and enjoyed with the help of expert chefs, food scientists, bartenders and, of course winemakers. Here visitors will be able to partake in intimate 10-person tours to enable guests to fully immerse themselves in the thought and production behind the brand.
Their workshops hosted inside their purpose-built tasting room are best described as sensory journeys where wine lovers will be able to explore the NON range. Paired with a cheese and charcuterie board, NONHQ’s tours end with guests leaving with a complimentary bottle of NON to enjoy at home.
On top of this, guests will be able to see firsthand how NON prioritises sustainability practices whether that be composting, reusing or, offering carbon neutral shipping.
