🍷 Bring Your Own Baby (BYOB): A Monthly Mum’s Club Experience at The Wine Factor

Motherhood is a beautiful, transformative journey—but let’s be honest, it’s also exhausting. Between feedings, nap schedules, and the ever-growing pile of laundry, it’s easy for mums to forget the importance of carving out a little time for themselves. That’s exactly why The Wine Factor created the "Bring Your Own Baby (BYOB)" Mum’s Club—a monthly event dedicated to connection, relaxation, and of course, fabulous wine.

Taking place on the last Wednesday of every month, this unique gathering is quickly becoming a highlight on the calendar for mums across London. It’s a moment to unwind, sip and savour, all while bonding with fellow mums in a truly welcoming space.

A Sip of Sanity: The Concept Behind BYOB

We get it—parenting is full-on. And while traditional wine tastings may not seem “baby-friendly,” we decided to flip the script. Why not bring together the joys of motherhood and the joys of wine in one perfect package?

Our “Bring Your Own Baby (BYOB)” event isn’t your average wine tasting. It’s an experience designed with mums in mind. That means:

  • A calm, relaxed atmosphere

  • Space for buggies, bottle-feeding, and bouncers

  • A hand-picked flight of four beautiful wines

  • A curated cheese board that pairs perfectly with each pour

  • Time to connect with other women walking the same path

The result? A moment of indulgence in the midst of chaos—and you don’t even need a babysitter.

Why the Last Wednesday?

We chose the last Wednesday of each month for a reason. It gives mums something to look forward to as the month wraps up—a well-earned reward after weeks of juggling roles, routines, and responsibilities. It’s a midweek pick-me-up with a touch of elegance, taking place during the most peaceful part of the day: 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM.

This daytime format is deliberate. It aligns with many babies' nap schedules, avoids bedtime routines, and fits comfortably between morning chaos and afternoon feeds. We want this to be a low-stress, high-enjoyment event from start to finish.

The Setting: Welcome to The Wine Factor

Nestled in the heart of 75 Station Rd, London E4 7BU, The Wine Factor is more than a wine bar—it’s a community hub. Our space was designed to feel like an extension of your living room (only with better wine and zero toys underfoot). With soft lighting, ambient music, and comfortable seating, we’ve created a haven for tired but fabulous mums and their little ones.

Our team knows exactly how to strike the right balance between premium hospitality and family-friendly warmth. You'll find bottle-warming stations, plenty of space for prams, and a non-judgmental, relaxed vibe that puts everyone at ease.

What to Expect: The BYOB Experience

Here’s what happens when you walk through the door on a BYOB Wednesday:

🌿 A Warm Welcome

Our team greets you with a smile (and probably a knowing nod if your little one’s mid-meltdown). You’ll be shown to a table that suits your needs—whether that’s near the buggy park, close to a high chair, or tucked in a quieter corner.

🍷 A Curated Tasting Flight

Once you’re settled, the wine begins to flow—literally. Each guest receives a guided tasting of four hand-selected wines. These are premium, international pours chosen for their character, story, and perfect pairing potential.

Don’t worry, we serve generous tasting measures, so you’ll have time to truly savour each one.

🧀 A Delicious Cheese Board

With each wine comes a carefully curated cheese pairing, designed to complement the flavours and elevate your tasting experience. Think creamy bries, tangy blues, and rich aged cheddars—served with fruit, crackers, and a touch of indulgence.

👩👧👦 Connection & Conversation

You’ll find mums at every stage of motherhood—first-timers, seasoned pros, and everyone in between. Some are cradling newborns, others have toddlers in tow. There’s no pressure, no need to be “on,” just a room full of understanding smiles and shared experiences.

Not Just a Tasting—A Mini Retreat

It may only last 90 minutes, but our BYOB event feels like a mini-retreat. It’s a chance to take off the mum hat for just a moment and put on the “me” hat again—while still holding your baby close.

Here’s how past guests have described it:

“It’s the first time in ages I felt like myself again.”
“My baby slept the whole time, and I had WINE. Heaven.”
“Made a new mum friend, discovered a new wine, and didn’t have to leave my baby at home—perfect.”

We love hearing stories like these because that’s exactly why we do it.

A Great Gift for New Mums

Looking for the perfect baby shower gift or postnatal treat? A ticket to our BYOB tasting makes a thoughtful and refreshing gesture. Whether it’s a birthday, a celebration, or just a way to say “you’re doing amazing,” this event is the kind of self-care every mum deserves.

You can even book a group and come along with your NCT pals, your antenatal group, or fellow mums from the school gates.

In a Nutshell

The Wine Factor’s Bring Your Own Baby (BYOB) event is about more than wine—it’s about wellbeing. It’s about saying, “Hey, you deserve this.” It’s about laughter, community, and sipping something that reminds you of who you are outside of being Mum.

So, whether you’re bleary-eyed with a newborn, chasing a curious crawler, or just desperate for a decent glass of wine in adult company, this event is for you.
