HOW WE HOST...

Jo Berry shares her essentials for party perfection

If I had to choose between a dinner party or a dance party, dancing would always win. I would always much rather invite people over for a good old knees-up. My go-to song to get the party started is I Believe in Miracles by

the Jackson Sisters. My husband and I are quite obsessed with natural wines. We like to arrange a buffet of boutique, sulphate-free

natural red wines. I do also like a drop of mezcal with ice and lime too, though – it guarantees high vibes. I also

need a diverse cheese plate! I’m big on scent. I love the house to be infused with the gorgeous waft of incense. My go-to is probably Astier de Villatte’s ‘Tucson’ – it’s smoky with that

mezcal element.

I have lots of musician friends, so they will often bring a guitar out during the evening and we will all have a raucous sing-song.
