SIP TOGETHER. MEET GAY MEN. MAKE FRIENDS.

This Friend of Dorothy event is about bringing gay men together in real life to connect, share experiences and build genuine friendships.

Join us for an evening of guided wine tasting at Renegade Wine Bar in Bethnal Green, a relaxed and intimate experience designed for both wine lovers and complete beginners. You’ll be taken through a curated selection of wines, learning about flavour profiles, how different wines are made, and what to actually look for when you drink — all without the usual wine-world pretension.

But like all Friend of Dorothy events, this isn’t just about the activity.

It’s about creating spaces where gay men can meet new people, enjoy shared experiences and feel part of a welcoming community. With a smaller group and a relaxed setting, the evening naturally encourages conversation, laughter and connection.

Whether you come alone or bring a friend, you’ll spend the evening discovering new wines while getting to know the people around you.
