Book or gift now, enjoy later!
We’re sorry, this experience is not able to go ahead right now.
Due to the current Covid restrictions, this experience is unable to take place during December 2020.
Every booking - regardless of when this takes place, will play a part in helping our local businesses to survive this challenging time and help them bounce back when we are able to visit them in person again.
Book something to look forward to or gift to someone special for when lockdown is over, or to celebrate a brand new year!
What you'll do
A wine tasting with a rich chocolate twist awaits in this pairing experience with Clifton Wine School. Come along to try a delicious selection of wines, each with its own specially chosen artisan chocolate pairing.
During your two hour experience in a private room at Royal Navy Volunteer, you’ll taste six different wines, usually a selection of reds and sweet wines. These are each matched perfectly with chocolate sourced from local chocolatiers, including anything from dark to high quality milk chocolate, truffles and even rich chocolate cake.
You’ll be hosted for the evening by either the owner of Clifton Wine School, Ruth, who has been teaching the intricacies of wine for the last 10 years, or Jess, who specialises in food and wine pairing. They’ll talk you through each wine and its match, helping you discover more about your own wine tastes.
