What to do and see in London, England: The Best Wine Tours & Tastings

September 9, 2021 Flossie Demartino

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

We did this for my Brother's 50th and it was excellent. Justin was really knowledgeable and very personable, it was great to see three different sized vineyards and meet the owners of 2 of them. Even with a few hiccups from our end in terms of travel/getting there - Justin & Nicola managed to wrangle us and keep us on time. I highly recommend this

I really recommend everyone who wants to get an inside into London's history and brewing tradition. Our guide Steve was such a great guide. What a legend! On the tour were only my husband and I because the group from Netherlands that should be with us had some problems with their flight, so they didn't arrive in London on time to take the tour. Despite being only the 2 of us, Steve gave us a tour as if it was a big group and really made an effort to show us everything. We had such a great time with him, if felt like we were with a friend in the city. Looking forward to visit London again.
