The Chester Cheese and Wine Tour

Come along on a tasty, unpretentious, varied and fun Cheese & Wine Tour in Chester!

Firstly, if you love relaxed food experiences this is for you.

Anyone have a cheese fetish and a love affair with wine?

Look no further, bring both friends and family or grab your other half. We provide a great night out for anyone looking to spend an entertaining few hours indulging in the most classic of combos. In other words, it doesn’t matter how much you do or don’t know about wine. Knowing you like it is enough!

The plan

Given that cheese and wine tastings have always been a great way to spend the evening, we decided to give it legs too. Unlike other tastings, you get to hear from various wine experts across the city.

Experience some intriguing takes on your cheese and wine pairings whilst enjoying Cheshire-made cheese from small producers.

In order to walk it off a bit, there’s a relaxed stroll between specially selected independents for interactive tastings.

There’s no stuffiness on our food tours, only a cheese coma plus tips and facts to take away with you. All in all, a night to remember.
