Tutored Tastings

​​​

Want to explore a particular style of wine? A wine region? Is there a grape you want to know more about? Have you ever wondered what a winemaker actually does in the winery? Now's your chance!

 

Our tutored tastings are the best way to make the most of the festival, and are included with your festival ticket. To receive updates on our tastings please subscribe to our mailing list, or follow us on Facebook, X, or Instagram.

​

PLEASE NOTE - Tutored tastings are limited to one per attendee, to ensure as many people as possible have the chance to attend.

​

Tutored tastings last for around an hour and all tastings are free unless specified.  Our tastings are relaxed and informal, and no prior wine knowledge is needed!

​

To book onto a tutored tasting you first need to have booked your tickets to the relevant session of the festival. Then email us at Ihaveaquestion@oxfordwinefestival.org to reserve your places. All tutored tastings will fill up well before the festival starts, so don't delay!​
