Description

There is so much more to Australian wine than you might think! Famous for big reds from Barossa, this amazing country is always evolving and there have been some exciting changes in recent years.

From Margaret River to Clare Valley to Victoria, there are a myriad of wine styles to enjoy with so many food pairing options too! Join us for a taste of Australian wines in The Tasting Room in Godstall Lane: our very own home of all things wine in the heart of Chester city centre, just moments from Chester Cathedral and The Rows.

The principal courses are provided by Chester institution and our amazing neighbour, Dutton’s. Then there are British artisan cheeses from The Cheese Shop, Chester paired with our final red wines.
