How to sessions
We take coffee appreciation seriously around here and that extends to getting the best out of every single cup, whatever your brewing method. That’s why we run personalised training sessions. We help you unlock the full potential of all your favourite coffee equipment, from mastering the art of the espresso machine to perfecting your Aeropress technique. Our expert team of baristas from LOCAL are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and passion, guiding you through step-by-step instructions to achieve the best possible brew. Whether you're a seasoned coffee enthusiast or just starting your coffee journey, our tailored sessions cater to all skill levels.
Natural wine tastings
Whether you're new to the world of natural wines or a complete natty enthusiast, our expert-led tasting sessions cater to all levels of wine appreciation. Taste a wide variety of our wine collection from hidden gems to natty crowd pleasers, all sourced from the best independent producers worldwide.
Coffee Cupping
During these hands-on sessions, you'll learn the art of cupping, a practice among coffee enthusiasts and professionals alike. Discover how to evaluate the nuances of different coffee beans, identify tasting notes, and understand the influence of brewing methods. Whether you're a coffee obsessive or a curious newcomer, our personalised cupping sessions cater to all levels of interest and expertise.
Want a different corporate event or a fun team building activity?
Our sessions are perfect for communication and team building. We create interactive activities, blind taste challenges plus education and guidance which promotes collaboration and camaraderie among your employees and guests.
Whether it's a team-building workshop, an appreciation event for your clients, or a corporate celebration, our events can be tailored to complement the theme and objectives of your specific event. Our team has previous experience in running team building events, employee engagement and professional development courses so we can tick almost every box.
While doing all this you are also supporting the little guys, as drop by LOCAL is all about supporting the small independents that are experts at their craft. Whether that's small coffee roasters in Newcastle or a small vineyard in Wales, each indy supplier are champions in their field.
We also bring the entire experience to your preferred venue, whether it's your office, our place or another off-site location. Sit back and relax while our team takes care of everything.
