We host around 25 tastings a year in our distillery room, usually on a Friday evening, starting at 7pm.
The tastings consist of six wines, and a cheeseboard, they are hosted by several different people from the wine trade, many are winemakers, or representatives for specific regions, or wineries, we also have representatives from our suppliers, as well as wine educators, and visiting sommelier’s.
The tastings are usually £35 per person, but we do have some that are more expensive.
All of our tastings will be listed on this page, advertised via our email newsletter, and on social media.
They do get booked up quite quickly! To book, email winetastings@darleyabbeywines.co.uk
