If you’re a fan of nice wine then a wine tasting experience can be a great way to celebrate a special occasion or simply a nice way to spend a sunny weekend afternoon.
What is wine tasting?
Wine tasting is an experience where you get to try new wines, learn more about the wine making process and often explore a vineyard at the same time. It’s an opportunity for tasting wine that you may not have come across before.
You can find wine tasting events at vineyards and wineries across the country but also many stately homes and restaurants also offer wine tasting experiences. I thought I would put together all the wine tasting options across Hampshire to inspire your next wine tasting session.
