Spinneys Abu Dhabi launches The Big Taste 2025: Your passport to the world of wine

Abu Dhabi is raising a glass to something new this September. Spinneys is introducing The Big Taste 2025 – the capital’s newest wine journey, taking over the grand setting of Mandarin Oriental Emirates Palace for one night only.

On 26 September 2025, from 7pm to 10pm, guests will be invited to embark on an immersive wine adventure with over 30 producers from more than 10 countries. From the rolling vineyards of Europe to New World favourites, every bottle is a boarding pass and every sip tells a story. Expect to discover fresh varietals, meet the faces behind the labels, and uncover rare finds alongside your everyday favourites.

For just AED 200, a general admission ticket unlocks a night of unlimited tastings, a celebration of global flavours, and plenty of opportunities to expand your palate. To complement the pours, light canapés will be served throughout the evening – with a spotlight on cheese, naturally.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply curious to try something new, The Big Taste 2025 promises an evening of discovery, connection, and celebration in one of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic venues.
