Hotel Haven gathers lovers of fine flavours this autumn

When autumn arrives in Helsinki, the Haven Tasting Society transforms dark evenings into memorable experiences.

This is no stuffy wine course, but rather a relaxed and uncompromisingly high-quality community for everyone who loves fine flavors and the stories behind them. Whether you are an experienced connoisseur or a curious beginner, you are warmly welcome to join us – your seat reservation serves as your membership.

The Haven Tasting Society brings together lovers of wine, cocktails, and spirits to enjoy curated tastings where stories and quality meet. Our elegant tasting sessions offer a stunning setting to explore some of the world's most prestigious drinks – regardless of how far you have already come on your flavor journey.

This autumn, our travels will take us from American micro-distilleries to the wine hills of Piedmont and the warmth of the Caribbean. True to the spirit of the Haven Tasting Society, the contents of the glass are always discussed with the passion they deserve. The events are hosted by our carefully selected guest experts, who bring profound expertise from both Finland and abroad. Special events led by international experts will be held in English. Places for these evenings are limited to ensure an intimate atmosphere. The tasting events will take place at Bar Haven and Restaurant Haven.
