Discover Wine & Cheese Tastings on the Cam with Traditional Punting Company

If you’re looking for a unique evening in Cambridge this summer, Traditional Punting Company is delighted to introduce Wine & Cheese Tastings on the Cam. This brand-new experience combines a traditional Cambridge punt tour with a guided tasting of British wines and artisan cheeses, hosted in collaboration with Grape Britannia.

Taking place on Friday 31st July at 7pm, this exclusive 90-minute event offers a memorable way to enjoy the River Cam after hours. As you glide past Cambridge’s famous College Backs, you’ll discover exceptional British produce while taking in some of the city’s most iconic views.

Combining Cambridge Punting with British Produce

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.
