Like Wine? Love Vinopolis!

This experience is one to remember, or not depending on the amount of wine you drink! Based in London this experience day is not only educational but great fun. On the day you are taught by the experts how to taste wine properly then how to drink it. On the day you get a self-guided tour of the two and a half acre grounds followed by a twenty minute session on how to properly taste wine. After that the merriment begins and you get to taste five wines, a Bombay Sapphire cocktail, two premium wines, two whisky’s, two absinthe tastings and finally two beer tastings. If that wasn't enough, you also get a Vinopolis notepad to take home. This day out is a perfect way to treat the one you love or your favourite drinking buddy.


An absolute bargain at £55 for two through buyagift.
