Gifts For Drinks Connoisseur

Just finished a tour of Hawkstone Brewery at Bourton on the water. We have tried so many samples it’s a good job we left the car at the hotel and walked here. We loved all of them including the vodka. Our guide Sion was very friendly and informative, and very generous with the samples. We did a tour of the Estrella factory in Spain last year and, although it was very slick, the Hawkstone version was really authentic and very positively angled to support British farming.

Very interesting

We both enjoyed tour and beer

Fantastic experience, from the knowledge of our guide, the tasting experience, location etc. Would highly recommend

We Had a fantastic time great food great beer Fantastic venue brilliant staff great relaxing atmosphere

An extremely professional, informative and well-organised experience. Highly recommended

We had a fantastic day at Shawsgate Vineyard. The tour was extremely informative and the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch consisted of cheese, ham, salad and bread with a delicious cheesecake for dessert. There was no choice, but the food was good. The wine tasting involved quite a lot of wine, and we were able to choose a glass of our favourite for lunch - something to consider if you are driving! I would highly recommend this!

Although the actual tour was cancelled due to illness we still had the wine tasting. We were given a talk about the different grapes they use and how the wine is made. During the talk, by a very knowlegable gentleman, we were given a glass of sparkling rose wine then we had the tasting, a dry rose, a white and a red. They were very nice. We had a very nice time.

Lovely afternoon tea and very enjoyable tour and information about the winery. Bought this as an experience for ourselves instead of Christmas gifts

I joined the bird and blend tea workshop with my friend and it was a great experience! The lead had lots of knowledge in the teas we tasted and everyone was lovely. It was a great way to start the day off! I highly recommend:)

An interesting talk about the vineyard history followed by a wine tasting session was very good. The guide, one of the owners, was very informative and friendly. The afternoon tea that followed was very nice.
