Sip, Savour & Celebrate With MMI’s The Big Taste Festival In Dubai With 2-for-1 Tickets

Dubai doesn’t exactly do small. If there’s a chance to go big, the city grabs it with both hands. The Big Taste coming to Dubai is proof of that. It’s not some polite little sampling session tucked into a ballroom, it’s a two-night takeover of the Mandarin Oriental Jumeira on 24 and 25 September 2025, and it’s got plenty of people circling the dates on their calendars already.

Sip, Savour & Celebrate: MMI’s The Big Taste Festival in Dubai With 2-for-1 Tickets

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Tickets are usually snapped up without much fuss, but this time MMI has dangled a carrot no one saw coming: a 2-for-1 ticket deal.

For 24 hours only, use the code CHEERS1FREE on the Platinum List to receive a buy-one-get-one ticket. Simple, quick, and honestly, too good to ignore. One ticket gets you in. Two tickets for the same price? That’s just smart maths.

Let’s face it, there’s always that one friend who says, “Next year, maybe.” Well, not this time. Drag them along, split the cost, and enjoy twice the fun. If you snooze, you lose, and once the deal disappears, you’ll be left refreshing your inbox for resell offers that probably won’t come.

Dubai’s Tasting Event That People Actually Look Forward To

Here’s the thing. This isn’t a dull trade fair with rows of bottles and people pretending to nod thoughtfully. It’s over 600 labels, from 100 producers, representing 20+ countries. Some are household names, think Antinori from Italy or South Africa’s Ken Forrester. Others? Hidden gems that only the adventurous stumble upon.

And truth be told, the drinks are only half the story. There’s live music, the odd surprise act, and a buzz that makes the whole evening feel more like a cultural carnival than a tasting room. Come on, no one wants to stand around in silence.

What You Really Walk Away With

If you go, you’ll come home with more than just a phone full of photos. You’ll pick up stories. Stories behind the bottles, behind the families who made them, and behind the regions they came from. In practice, it’s like travelling across the globe without the jet lag.

And yes, whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or someone who just enjoys trying new flavours, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve discovered something worth talking about. To be fair, that’s the whole point of nights like these.
