There’s no better way to experience Cambridge than from the water. That’s why we’ve combined our traditional chauffeured punt tours with a carefully curated wine and cheese tasting.

Throughout the evening, Grape Britannia will introduce each wine and explain the vineyard behind it. In addition, you’ll discover why each cheese has been carefully paired to complement the flavours. Whether you’re new to wine tasting or already have a passion for British wines, the experience is designed to be informative, relaxed and enjoyable.

The Tasting Menu

During the evening, you’ll enjoy three carefully selected British wines, each paired with a complementary British cheese and served with crackers:

  • Albion English Fizz 2023

  • Chilford Hall Vineyard Legacy 2021
    Paired with Wensleydale & Apricot Cheese
  • Three Choirs Vineyards Reserve Rosé 2023

Together, these pairings showcase the quality and character of British wine and artisan cheese. As a result, you’ll enjoy a tasting experience that perfectly complements your journey along the River Cam.
