Wine and Cheese Tasting in Bath: 3 wines, 3 cheeses

Three wines, three cheeses, and how they work together in a cellar under Bath

A wine and cheese tasting in Bath's city centre pairs three wines (white, rosé and red) with three cheese wedges and accompaniments in a private cellar beneath a retail shop. A guide introduces the tasting method and the products, then you spend the rest of the time tasting at your own pace. The experience lasts about an hour and is adults only.

The experience

You meet in the shop upstairs, then descend into the cellar where the tasting happens. The guide walks you through how to taste wine and cheese together (what to look for, how the flavours interact, why the order matters) before stepping back to let you work through the three wines and three cheeses at your own speed. Each cheese comes with crackers, pickles, nuts, chutney and charcuterie to build on the flavours.

The cellar is decorated and designed for this, not a storage room repurposed for tastings. Bottled water and the three glasses of wine are included. You bring any dietary needs or allergies to their attention when you book so they can prepare. The experience is adults only, 18 and up.

Is this one for you?This is a private tasting, so you and whoever you book with have the cellar to yourselves and can take as long as you want over each pairing: ideal if you want to talk through what you taste without the pace of a group around you. It suits anyone 18 or older who wants to learn how wine and cheese actually work together, whether you are a couple, a small group of friends or a private party.

Top questions

What exactly do I taste in the three wines?

You receive one glass each of white, rosé and red wine, tasted in that order so the lighter wines come first and do not get overshadowed.

How much cheese do I get?

Each person receives three wedges of cheese, one to pair with each wine, plus crackers, pickles, nuts, chutney and charcuterie to accompany them.

Is this a group tasting or private?

The tasting is private. You book it for your group and spend the time in the cellar with just the people you came with.

Can you accommodate vegetarians or dietary restrictions?

Vegetarian options are available on request. Before you attend, let them know about any allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements so they can prepare the board accordingly. They do not currently offer vegan cheese.

How long does the whole thing take?

The experience runs about an hour from start to finish, including the guide's introduction and your tasting time.
