Per one customer who booked the English Wine and Cheese Tour from London, “Very well organized day! Wonderful wine experience! I recommend this tour to wine lovers! A lot of wine tastings, interesting picnic lunch and interesting cheese and wine pairings!”

London wine-tasting tours vary widely, from curated tastings in Kent to walking tours that stop at multiple venues across the city. Check the itinerary to see what’s included (how many tastings? any small plates?) and whether the venue is centrally located or requires transportation. Many tours have age restrictions, so make sure you read the fine print if you’re traveling with teens or young adults.

There are several ways to make the most of your London wine-tasting tour. Eat a light meal beforehand so you’re not tasting on an empty stomach, but avoid anything too spicy or strong that might interfere with your palate. Ask your host plenty of questions—many guides are sommeliers with deep knowledge of British and international wines. Don’t forget to bring ID (even if you’re well over 18), and wear something smart-casual if the tour includes upscale venues.
