A number of our customers shop for friends and family after the tour.

Beer and cider are a part of English culture, and as such will be served at a certain point on the tour. Do feel free to ask for a soft drink alternative if you prefer not to drink alcohol.
In addition to beer and cider, water is served at 5 of our tasting locations and traditional English tea is served at one of the stops on the tour.
