Join our winemaker Chris Haywood in the intimate setting of one of England’s oldest vineyards  for a guided exploration of perfectly matched flavors. Sample award-winning wines from Astley’s historic 5-acre estate expertly paired with Macneils Smokehouse multi TASTE award-winning smoked delicacies.

Using traditional Norwegian techniques in their vintage smokehouse, Macneils hand-craft small batches of exceptional smoked salmon, meats, including their signature Herefordshire Cider & Apple Cured Salmon. Each delicate, beech-wood creation will be thoughtfully matched with Astley wines that complement and elevate both elements.

Event FAQs
Will there be a vegetarian / vegan option available?
We will be featuring the wonderful food of Macneils Smokehouse on this particular evening and the wine pairings will be designed accordingly. Their primary products are fish and meats. We can provide  a vegetarian option based around cheese but it defintely won't be the focus of the evening
Will I need a lift / taxi?
That's upto you! But we will be serving 4 glasses of wine over the course of the evening... Taxis - we recommend these are pre-booked. Uber [Worcester], Regency Cars [Wyre Forest] and Blue Door [Drotwich] are all reliable.
