Join us here at Astley for an extraordinary evening where we with one of Worcestershire’s most celebrated artisan producers, Macneils Smokehouse, for an exclusive tasting experience.
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.
This intimate evening includes insights into both artisanal processes, the stories behind these family businesses, and Chris’s expert guidance on why certain combinations create magic on the palate.
