Christmas Gifts for Her: Drinks Connoisseur

We had a lovely time during our Vineyard Tour at Yorkshire Heart and would highly recommend as a gift.

Superb experience and a great time had, plenty of free samples on the tour, make sure you tell them you are driving so the samples you get are smaller but in return they will give you some to sample at home as well. Team were very knowledgeable and happy to keep the drinks flowing as they give you the tour.

The tour guide was brilliant. I was a little disappointed that the wines were mostly white or rose, with only one of the six being red. However, the couple of hours were very enjoyable. A shame the bird had attached the grapes in the vineyard and a wedding was on so we couldn't see the others.

Our cocktail masterclass was 5*. Our mixologist, Jamie, was outstanding - friendly, expert, funny and empathetic. We would thoroughly recommend the experience.

Luca, our host, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were given 6 different rums of varying flavour and went through the tasting notes. An interesting and different experience for the weekend.

The day started at 10am with hot drinks and an intro to the day. It wasn't long before we were enjoying bacon sandwiches and our first taster. The Head Brewer was passionate and informative, inviting us to be as involved or not as we liked in making a batch of IPA throughout the day. As we this took place we were given regular samples of the various beers/IPA's/Cask Ales/Porters to try. A substantial lunch was provided, along with our choice of 5l 5keg to take away at the end. I would definitely leave the car behind as the opportunity to try each beer was substantial.

The cocktails were amazing! The hosts were courteous. Place is posh. Loved it.

A wonderful tour, with a very knowledgable guide. The whole experience from start to finish was interesting and of very good quality. Would highly recommend!

An excellent tour of the winery and brewery. Very informative. Finished off by a tasting session of the wines, beers and liqueurs.

Lovely day, host's very welcoming. Good sense of humour. With plenty of different tasting of ciders and some liquors to try as well. Food was jomw made soup bread and sausages. Very rustic but great atmosphere.
