Wine Tasting Cotswolds: 3 Must-Try Experiences

Sep 27, 2019

When it comes to wine, the Cotswolds has some of the best English wine tasting experiences in the UK. Why? Because this special part of Gloucestershire is home to over 10 vineyards, including our own vineyard, Three Choirs Vineyards, here in Newent.


It’s thanks to the region’s clement weather and fertile soils that so many vineyards have sprung up in this part of the world over the years. Which means there are plenty of Cotswolds wine tasting opportunities for you to enjoy if you’re exploring the Cotswolds this year. Here are 3 must-try wine experiences that you can enjoy with us at Three Choirs Vineyards. 

Best for First-timers

Wine Tasting Experience | £12.50 | 45 minutes

New to wine tasting? Come along to Three Choirs Vineyards for a comprehensive and informative wine tasting tour. One of our team will give you a guided tour of the our Cotswolds vineyard and explain how our grapes are grown, harvested and bottled. You’ll also get the chance to sample four of our delicious English Wines and have the chance to stroll through the vines at your leisure soaking in the Cotswolds beauty and, hopefully, the sunshine!

We’ll then serve you breakfast in the morning in our Vineyard Brasserie – you’ll leave us refreshed, relaxed and full of memories.
