experience wine tasting in the cotswolds

What I Offer

At Cotswold Wine Tasting I offer a fully tailored wine tasting experience in the beautiful surroundings of the Cotswold countryside.

You may be visiting the area or are lucky enough to live here, either way, I can bring a wine tasting to you. I am happy to cater for an intimate one-to-one, a small group, or family gathering.  A wine tasting can also make the perfect gift – fun and informative, more in-depth and serious, or give me a free hand, and make it a complete surprise!

The tasting can take any format you choose. You may wish to relive a trip abroad or explore new regions or grape varieties. Perhaps to look at one wine through several vintages in a vertical tasting, or make a comparison of one grape from regions around the world. It might be all white wine, or all red. Champagne versus the rest of the world, or take a look at our own nascent industry and taste English wines.

I am happy to put together an event to suit your budget as well as your interests.

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance wine professional, based in Cheltenham and working in the heart of the Cotswolds. I’m passionate about the world of wine and with sharing this passion with others. 

I supply all wine and glasses for these events and am happy to travel anywhere in the Cotswolds.

PRICES

Costs will vary, depending on the number and style of wines chosen. However, a guide would be to budget £35-£50 per head for a group of six people.

"Tracey organised a fantastic evening of wine tasting. She picked a fantastic selection of wines, including some from lesser known regions/vineyards each of which was paired with a cheese from the Cheeseworks in Cheltenham. She did a fantastic job tailoring the session to our group pitching the level of information perfectly, and challenging us to guess the region and price. It was a brilliant evening, great fun, informative and so easy to organise. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have some fun and learn some more about wine from someone with huge depth and breadth of knowledge and experience."
