Christmas in a cup.
Warm red wine, citrus and winter spices served from Victorian and Alpine carts for weddings, Christmas parties, corporate events and brand activations where atmosphere matters just as much as the drink.
Warm spiced wine.
Red wine warmed with citrus and spices creates the familiar winter flavour before the first sip even reaches the guest.
Cinnamon. Star anise. Orange.
Cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, star anise and orange do a very good job of announcing the cart from across the venue.
Victorian or Alpine.
Choose old-world Victorian charm or a rustic Alpine look that feels like someone moved the Christmas market directly into the event.
The smell normally arrives before the cart does.
Mulled wine is unusually good event catering because the aroma is part of the experience. Warm spice, citrus and wine fill the air, guests gather around the cart with both hands around a cup, and a drinks station quietly becomes one of the most social places at the event.
Warm hands. Good smells. Better conversations.
Instant Winter Atmosphere
Steam, spice and citrus create the kind of atmosphere usually associated with Christmas markets and winter festivals.
Easy To Personalise
Fruit, sweetness, spice balance and extra ingredients can be adjusted to create a house recipe for the event.
Alcohol-Free Alternatives
Spiced grape drinks, apple cider and other warm alternatives let the same cart serve guests who are not drinking alcohol.
Made For Branding
Cart colours, logos, messaging and serving pieces can make the whole winter station part of a campaign.
Five ingredients doing most of the atmospheric heavy lifting.
Wine. Spice. Cart. Steam.
Choose the drink profile first, then build the cart styling, alcohol-free alternatives, branding and pairings around the event.

Alpine cart. Twinkling lights. Steam in the cold.
The Alpine cart is where mulled wine becomes full winter theatre. Wood, warm lighting and steaming cups make the service feel instantly seasonal without needing the rest of the venue to become a chalet.
For more formal occasions, the Victorian cart brings an older, more elegant character that works especially well at winter weddings and smart corporate receptions.
Where the cart shines
Outdoor winter wedding arrivals.
Christmas staff parties.
Corporate hospitality.
Winter festivals and markets.
Evening receptions and launches.
Not drinking? Still cold? We have options.
Spiced Apple Cider
Sweet, tangy and packed with the same warming spice direction, giving non-wine drinkers a proper winter drink rather than a consolation prize.
Alcohol-Free Spiced Grape
Grape juice can carry the same citrus-and-spice character without the alcohol, making the cart easier to use across mixed groups.
Herbal Winter Drinks
Warm aromatic teas add another alcohol-free direction for guests who want something lighter than fruit-based winter drinks.
Victorian charm. Alpine lodge. Or full campaign takeover.
Victorian Style
Ornate details and old-world character for elegant winter weddings, formal receptions and events that want the cart to feel decorative.
Alpine Style
Wood, lantern-style warmth and après-ski energy for Christmas parties, winter festivals and relaxed receptions.
Custom Branded
Transform the cart with corporate colours, logos and messaging so the serving point becomes part of the activation.
Romance with steam coming off it.
Mulled wine makes particular sense at winter weddings because it solves a practical problem and creates a moment at the same time. Serve it as guests arrive, during an outdoor ceremony break, through cocktail hour or later in the evening when everybody suddenly remembers it is December.
Bespoke flavour profiles can pull in details from the couple’s story, favourite places or chosen winter theme, while the cart creates a natural focal point for photographs and conversation.
Experiential marketing, but warm.
Brand The Cart
Company colours, logos and campaign messaging can turn the cart into an integrated part of the stand or event.
Create A Signature Recipe
Use berries, citrus, herbs and sweetness to create a drink direction that connects to the campaign or brand palette.
Own The Serving Moment
Branded cups, menu names and event-specific presentation keep the identity visible after the guest walks away from the cart.
Mulled wine + roast chestnuts is difficult to argue with.
Hot Roast Chestnuts
The smoky, nutty aroma of roasted chestnuts works naturally beside warm spiced wine and gives the winter cart a second reason for guests to keep circling back.
Hot Chocolate Too?
For weddings and mixed-age winter events, running hot chocolate alongside mulled wine creates a full warming station instead of forcing every guest into one drink choice.
Winter weddings, Christmas parties and anyone pretending they are not cold.
Winter Weddings
Warm guests at arrival, cocktail hour or late evening with a drink that already feels part of the season.
Corporate Christmas Events
Create a social hub where teams actually gather, rather than hiding the drinks table at the edge of the room.
Exhibitions & Brand Activations
A branded winter cart, distinctive aroma and warm drink create a very strong reason to stop at a stand.
Military, College & University Balls
Evening events gain a seasonal drinks station that feels more considered than another standard bar queue.

A standard setup comfortably serves around 100–150 guests per hour. Larger events can be handled with additional carts or an adjusted service setup.
