A Wine Tasting Evening at Mullions in Street
The Mullions 51 wine tasting night felt a bit like being invited into someone’s living room… if that someone had an excellent wine supplier and a very good chef.
We rocked up as Em & Woz with cameras in hand and were instantly hit with that cosy, slightly buzzy energy – small groups claiming their tables, bottles lined up at the bar, and that low hum of “What are we drinking first?” floating around the room.
Glasses were poured, noses went into glasses (some more confidently than others), and pretty quickly the room filled with the sound of “Ooh, I like that one” and “Wait, which one was this again?”. We moved between tables catching all the good stuff: the raised eyebrows at a surprise favourite, the friends who clearly hadn’t seen each other in ages, the laughter getting just a little louder with every pour.
One of our favourite parts of the evening was nipping into the kitchen to photograph the Mullions 51 team at work – plates being dressed, sauces finished, everything timed to land perfectly with the wine. Front‑of‑house was all chat and clinking glasses; behind the scenes was all focus, timing and a lot of teamwork.
If you’re hunting for a Somerset night out that isn’t just “go for dinner, go home”, keep an eye on the Mullions 51 events – these tasting evenings are such a good mix of relaxed, a bit treat‑y and properly delicious. And if you spot us there again with cameras, come say hi (preferably between courses, not mid‑mouthful of pinot).
