Wine Fair 12pm FOR 4

If you enjoy wine but want to explore beyond what you normally buy, this is a great way to do it.

Spend an afternoon exploring a wide range of wines, chatting to the people behind them and tasting bottles you’d never normally pick up in a shop.

There will be over 100 wines open - you simply choose what appeals. Each exhibitor will have a list to guide you.

This is a relaxed, walkaround tasting - no lectures, no pressure. Just take a glass and explore at your own pace.

You might find yourself comparing a local English sparkling wine with Champagne, trying an unusual grape from Slovenia or Romania, or discovering a red you’d never normally pick up but end up loving.

You can taste as much or as little as you like. Some people sip, others prefer to taste and pour away - spittoons are available if you’d like to use them.

Many exhibitors offer exclusive discounts on the day, so if you discover a new favourite, you can take a bottle or two home or place an order.
