Helsinki's Chillest Wine Tastings
Sold out last year – back again every Friday & Saturday at 13:00 & 17:00
Just a 20-minute ferry ride from Kauppatori ⛵️ Sea-view terrace in Vallisaari Includes 5 wines + tapas buffet 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 Perfect for total beginners and near-professionals alike
This summer, forget plane tickets – Iisi brings the tastes of Italy, France, Spain and more to Helsinki's most beautiful island.
Each tasting is a mini holiday: ✨ Unique wines & stories straight from the producers 🎶 Evening DJs + sunset on the terrace 🌟 Pre-party vibes, White Parties & other surprises
🌿 Art, nature, and sea – with a chilled glass and your favourite people. 🎟️ Limited spots – book early!
No experience needed! At each tasting, our sommelier introduces each wine with the essentials, then moves table to table for personal chats. Whether this is your first wine ever or you're borderline sommelier yourself – this setup makes sure you get exactly what you want from the experience.
Partner: Tastings are organised with Potio Oy / Kaubba.com, bringing years of stories, producers, grapes and regional secrets directly to your glass.
See you on the island! – Chief Iisi 🍷

Your host
Every week Oliver selects five wines by theme and walks table to table sharing each producer's story. No lectures. No exams. More like having dinner with someone who happens to know everything about Sicilian reds.
