Fancy something to eat while you’re enjoying your wines? There is food to purchase at all of our Wine Festivals, with wine pairing suggestions to elevate your experience.

No food can be brought into our events - unless under extenuating circumstances or for medial reasons.

All our venues have good disabled access. If you have any queries about access at specific venues, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us on 03330 148 200 or email events.feedback@laithwaiteswine.com and we’ll work with you to make it work for you.

We have a strict no admittance policy to anyone under 18 years old since alcohol is being served, including babes in arms and pushchairs. We reserve the right to ask for photographic identification with proof of age.

There are many spittoons placed around the tasting room and we ask you to use them. There are also water stations with copious quantities of mineral water for you to help yourself to. We are keen that everyone enjoys themselves but we encourage everyone to sip splendidly and taste responsibly. For more information, please visit drinkaware.co.uk. We reserve the right to refuse alcohol to anyone who we feel has over-imbibed.
