About this Event
Description
Port is the perfect partner when it comes to Christmas time, with all the warm spices and rich fruits. On this tasting we’ll be trying 6 different styles of Port and pairing them with some local stilton plus some other perfectly paired cheeses and some extra nibbles too.
The tastings will be held on Saturday 7th December at 6pm and last roughly 2 hours. It will include:
- A generous tasting of 6 different style Ports
- Each Port will be paired with an artisan British cheese and there will be crackers and nibbles on the side
- The tastings will be guided so that you learn along the way but also be very light hearted and a lot of fun
- Estate wines and cider can be purchased after the tasting on the day at a discounted price – perfect for Christmas pressies!
Want to stay at the vineyard? Book one of our glamping pods for a relaxed and fun weekend away.
