The evening unfolds
After the rounds, the terrace stays open. Continue the conversation — or start a new one.
Single Thursday – Wine Dating on a Paradise Island
Forget about awkward speed dates – now let's get to know each other in peace, one glass at a time. Welcome to Wine Dating Single Thursdays, a romantic wine adventure in the middle of magical Vallisaari. What could be better than getting to know a new partner over a common interest? Especially when that interest is the classic drink of love.
🫶 Course of the day: – 5 carefully selected wines for this very purpose – Delicious tapas buffet – New partner with each wine – Icebreaker questions to help you get started – let's experience wines through memories and emotions, not theory first – If you find someone special, you can by mutual decision taste the rest of the wines together
After the tasting, there's always time together on the terrace where you can get to know the rest of the singles you may not have met at the table yet.
DJ Chief Iisi plays the perfect tunes for the occasion, and we finish the evening dancing slow together.
⏳ This is not speed dating. This is slow sipping, slow flirting and slow falling. About 3 hours to find love from Finland's Sicily over a wine glass.
💡 After the event, we walk together hand in hand along the scenic route and take a group photo in front of Vallisaari's most beautiful views.
🎟️ Price €59 (includes wines, tapas buffet and an unforgettable experience – ferry ticket not included)
