Description

here is so much more to wines from northern Spain than Rioja! Join us on The River Dee for an entertaining wine tasting river cruise featuring wines from Galicia, home of zippy white grapes such as Albariño and discover some remarkable regions such as Navarra and Aragon and well as Ribero del Duero, Somontano,  Priorat and more!

Join us for an entertaining evening on the river trying different wines from northern Spain and look forward for one or two more unusual grape varieties too.

In partnership with the Chester Boat Company join us on board The Lady Diana for a two hour river cruise: from moorings on The Groves in Chester, we’ll head southwards, out of the city, passing some spectacular riverside homes and gardens, and make our way out of the city limits. Upstream of the city, the River Dee meanders through the Eaton Estate, the ancestral home of the Duke of Westminster. We make our turn at the picturesque Aldford Iron Bridge.

This is a very tranquil stretch of the Dee with opportunities to spot wildlife, including swans, herons, cormorants, moorhens and – if your eyes are sharp – a kingfisher or two, so keep your camera ready, if you can take your eyes off our wine selection! Is there a better way to spend a late summer Thursday evening in Chester? We look forward to welcoming you on board The Lady Diana for a truly enjoyable river cruise with wine and food pairing together with some balanced wine education. For most of our wine tasting river cruises our food pairings will be prepared and served by the amazing students at Academy West at The Cheshire College hospitality school. We are proud to support the college wherever possible as we have done since 2013.
