Premium wines and Gourmet Honey! – who knew?


Wine & Honey Tasting

Terroir in the glass & on the spoon

Honey and wine might sound like an unlikely couple… until you taste them together.
In this special tasting, honey expert Lesley Crook will lead you on a delicious journey where vineyards and beehives meet – showing how the same landscape can express itself in grapes and in flowers.

Come swirl, sniff, sip and spoon your way through 5 wines and 5 artisan honeys, and discover pairings you never knew you needed.


What to expect

• Guided by honey expert Lesley Crook – sharing her deep knowledge of bees, nectar and flavour
• 5 carefully chosen wines – from crisp bubbles to rich, indulgent styles
• 5 distinctive honeys – from pale orange blossom to dark, moody mountain honey
• A fun, relaxed guided tasting with stories about vines, hives and terroir
• Simple tips on how to pair honey & wine at home (hello, cheese board upgrade)
• Time to revisit your favourite pairing at the end

No experience needed – just curiosity and a sweet tooth.


On the menu (example flight)

We’ll taste our way through:

1. Orange blossom honey – light, floral
   + Brut Cava – citrus, apple, cleansing bubbles

2. Rosemary honey – herbal, very Mediterranean
   + Fresh Atlantic white – saline, zesty, green apple

3. Thyme / lavender honey – aromatic and savoury
   + Aromatic white or light orange wine – flowers, spice, texture

4. Mountain / forest honey – darker, woody, richer
   + Medium-bodied red – red fruit, gentle tannins

5. Chestnut or heather honey – intense, bittersweet
   + Sweet or oxidative wine – caramel, nuts, dried fruit

(Exact wines and honeys may vary depending on availability – Lesley will always choose something special.)


How it works

• We taste each honey on its own, then the wine on its own, then the two together.
• Lesley will help you notice how sweetness, acidity and texture change with each pairing.
• There are no wrong answers – we want you to say what you taste.
• At the end, you can go back to your favourite match and enjoy another taste.


Who will love this tasting?

• Foodies who love trying something different
• Wine lovers curious about terroir, flavour and pairing
• Honey fans who want to learn from an expert
• Cheese board fanatics looking for new ideas
• Couples and friends looking for a fun, slightly geeky night out
