Book a Private Cheese and Wine Tasting with a Gift Voucher

If you have a gift voucher, please use the form below to view availability and make a booking.

Please enter your voucher number in the 'comments' box during booking.

Even though payment will be made by voucher, due to past experience with 'no shows' we do still require card details to confirm your booking.

Please note: in the event of a no-show or cancellation within 7 days in advance of the booked date, the voucher will be rendered void. If we cannot identify a voucher number, the tasting cost will be charged to the supplied card details.

For online reservations, we are limited with group size and last-minute availability, but can often accommodate these requests if you get in touch. If you can't find the availability you're looking for, please do use our contact form and we'll do our best to fit you in.

Please see below for some of our FAQs around bookings and tastings - we may have answered your question already!

FAQs

How long do tastings last?
We tend to let you dictate the pace of private tastings, and they can last for more or less time depending on how much chatting there is and how quickly you’re drinking! On average, however, tastings last roughly 2 hours. If you have a deadline and need us to stick to a specific timing, just let us know.

Can I bring someone along who's not tasting?
The way we offer tastings means it's difficult not to include everyone sitting at the table, even if they aren't drinking! The charge for tasting is related just as much to the experience and the educational aspect involved as to the actual wine tasted, so it can be a little awkward to have a tasting, particularly with a small group, with members of the group not participating. Therefore, we’ve applied the following to our tasting bookings: if a tasting has at least 6 participants paying full price, we are happy for up to two ‘extra’ people, not tasting but sitting in, at a cost of £12.50 per person.

Do I need to drink the wine?!? 
We always offer spitoons, and if you’re pregnant/driving/would rather not drink you’d be surprised how much you can participate just by smelling and/or spitting out the wine. If you’d rather not spit, we find there’s usually at least one person on the table who’s happy to hoover up any leftovers!

Can I buy a tasting as a present for someone?
Yes indeed, we are more than happy to book a tasting and give you a voucher with all the details to give to your friend, alternatively we can just write ‘wine tasting’ and a value and leave it for them to book at their convenience.

How many wines will I taste?
That depends on the type of tasting - details are given under each heading on our tasting page. 

What will I be tasting? Can I taste whatever I like?
We find that the best tastings are usually a mix of what people already know, as well as a few surprises. If you would like a completely bespoke tasting, please get in touch with us for a quote.

Can I buy the wines I've tasted?
You certainly can, and the cheeses too! We offer discounts for purchases made after a tasting - ask your tasting host for details.
