Bringing together iconic brands in a stunning visual showcase
Every year, the Mentzendorff Annual Portfolio Tasting brings together some of the most prestigious names in the world of wine and spirits. From the elegance of Champagne Bollinger to the rich heritage of Taylor’s Port, this event is a key date in the calendar for trade professionals, buyers, and connoisseurs alike. Hosted in a prestigious London venue, the tasting offers an exclusive opportunity to explore Mentzendorff’s impressive portfolio, sample exquisite wines, and engage with some of the industry’s finest producers.
But behind the scenes, it takes a lot to make an event of this scale run seamlessly — and that’s where Datum’s creative expertise comes into play.
Our Creative Partnership with Mentzendorff: A Yearly Collaboration
At Datum, we’re proud to support Mentzendorff each year in bringing their Annual Portfolio Tasting to life. Our role goes far beyond simply designing print materials — we are a full creative partner, working closely with the Mentzendorff team to ensure the event is both visually stunning and operationally smooth.
Event Branding and Design
Each year, we develop a fresh visual identity for the tasting, carefully aligned with Mentzendorff’s brand and their premium portfolio. This includes bespoke event branding that is rolled out consistently across all assets, from invitations and tasting booklets to signage and digital displays.
Our design team creates elegant event graphics, using high-quality imagery and cohesive layouts that reflect the sophisticated nature of Mentzendorff’s offering. Whether showcasing the effervescence of Champagne Bollinger or the rich notes of Taylor’s Port, our designs aim to capture the essence of each brand while remaining unified under the Mentzendorff identity.
Event Print and Supporting Materials
Printed materials remain a vital part of the event experience. We handle all aspects of event printing, including:
- Event brochures and tasting books
- Brand cards and tasting notes
- Wayfinding and signage
- Large format banners and displays
Everything is produced to the highest print standards, ensuring that guests are equipped with beautiful, informative materials throughout the day.
Giant Lightbox and Digital Wall
For the latest event, we went even bigger — quite literally — by creating a giant custom-designed lightbox, a stunning centrepiece that showcased Mentzendorff’s brand and set the tone from the moment guests arrived.
Additionally, we supplied a fully animated digital wall, featuring a looped showcase of all Mentzendorff brands, including the likes of Champagne Bollinger, Taylor’s Port, and many more. This high-impact visual display not only served as a backdrop but also reinforced brand awareness and added a modern, dynamic edge to the event atmosphere.
Animation and Digital Support
Our creative work also extended to animated assets for the digital screens — bringing bottles to life, animating logos, and incorporating subtle motion to engage attendees and create a premium, polished feel throughout the event space.
Why Our Collaboration Works
Our long-standing relationship with Mentzendorff allows us to truly understand their vision, brand guidelines, and event goals. By working in close partnership, we can:
- Deliver cohesive creative output across print, digital, and environmental design
- Ensure brand consistency while introducing fresh creative elements each year
- Manage tight timelines and event logistics with a dedicated team
- Adapt to the unique requirements of a multi-brand showcase event
From the initial concept stages to on-the-day support, our team is committed to ensuring that Mentzendorff’s Annual Portfolio Tasting is not only beautifully presented but also runs without a hitch.
