Wine and Cheese Tasting on the River Cam

Join us for an unforgettable evening on the River Cam, combining a traditional Cambridge punt tour with a guided tasting of carefully selected British wines and artisan cheeses.

In partnership with Grape Britannia, this unique 90-minute experience has been designed to showcase some of the finest wines currently being produced across Britain, alongside expertly paired British cheeses and crackers. As you glide through Cambridge’s famous College Backs, you’ll enjoy stunning views, fascinating insights into each wine, and a relaxed atmosphere on the water.

Throughout the evening, you’ll sample three different British wines, each paired with a complementary British cheese. Grape Britannia will guide guests through the tasting, sharing the stories behind the wines, the vineyards that produce them, and the reasons behind each pairing.
