"Fabulous wine tour. Joanne is very knowledgeable and passionate and has loads of fun wine facts. The locations we visited were places I wouldn't normally think to go to but were lovely inside. I was also really impressed with the food and wine pairing. The flavours combined so well. Would thoroughly recommend this tour!"

"Our walking wine tour was better than we could possibly have hoped! We

had absolutely no idea what to expect, but Joanne's open, welcoming

manner put us instantly at our ease. The venues were immaculately

chosen, we hadn't been to any of them previously and are already

planning return trips! Joanne's depth of knowledge and her clarity in

communicating it are astonishing, every question we asked spurred a

fascinating and engaging delve into the wine world, and we learned so

much more than we would have anticipated. By far the stand out, however,

was Joanne's deft guidance through the process of actually engaging with

the experience of wine. This has, without hyperbole, genuinely changed

our approach to wine, opening our eyes to a hitherto unanticipated world

of experience.

We can't wait until we have an excuse to go again!" Ben, August 2022
