WINE TASTINGS: from £35

Tutored wine tastings
  • Taste 8 wines in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere
  • Meet friendly people also interested in wine

Our wine tastings are designed to appeal to people who appreciate fine wine.

They are informal in style. The tutor will give some background information and then simply introduce each wine and encourage discussion. A wine tasting sheet and, where appropriate, maps will be provided but not detailed notes.

Unless otherwise indicated, 8 wines will be tasted. There will be mineral water and water biscuits to refresh your palate between the wines so please, no snack foods, cheese etc.
