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.

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!

Very informative tour, good fun, lots to taste!

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

Very enjoyable and informative experience. Informal and fun experience hosted by Madi

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:)

Decent serving of 6 beers to try, nice food and staff were excellent and very friendly. Would recommend this if your just having a catch-up with a friend something a little bit different to just going for a burger and a pint (and it's actually 2 pints so don't drive and enjoy)

We both enjoyed tour and beer

Excellent Cocktail Masterclass at Revolution de Cuba in Reading. Definitely didn't skimp on the alcohol! Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri on arrival. We had fun making our own two cocktails. One of which was a race.Then watched as our cocktail master made and set fire to one of their signature cocktails for the winners and shots for the lovers. The food was also amazing.

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

This was very interesting and we enjoyed all of the gins… well some more than others

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.
