About this activity

Manchester Wine Tours are friendly, informal and fun wine-tasting events.

Each tour includes four of the best Manchester wine venues (bars, pubs, restaurants and shops).

Guests taste at least 6 different types of wine with high-quality snacks.

Your tour guide is a Manchester local, a qualified and experienced wine professional who can show you the art of wine tasting in a light-hearted, non-stuffy way.

Along the route, you will also stop at various points of interest, such as statues of notable characters in Manchester's history.

Tour groups are small with no more than 12 guests per event, which means they are friendly and intimate. Everybody has the chance to ask questions and share their own insights.

This is a great way to see the city and enjoy its incredible food and drink scene. There are opportunities to buy wine to take home along the way, if you wish.

Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements and look out for our messages regarding meeting points, etc.
