Tours & Tastings
COVID-19 UPDATE: We are cancelling all tours & tastings until 6th July. We are now accepting bookings for tours from 6th July onwards however we are limiting our capacity on all tours to ensure we can adhere to current social distancing guidelines. If you have a tour booked with us before July then we will be in touch with you directly. If you have a voucher that is due to expire before July then all vouchers have been extended; this includes vouchers bought through ourselves or one of our voucher providers.
If the current timeline changes and we have to remain shut in July then all tours can be rescheduled for a later date. If you’d prefer not to commit to a date at this time then our tour vouchers are available for sale here and are valid for 2 years.
