  • For a special occasion: choose Hunter Icons with the 2-course lunch (longer, more “event” style). :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}

Practical tips for a better tasting day

  • Don’t overbook: 2 tastings + one meal is usually the sweet spot for enjoyment.
  • Hydrate: water between tastings makes the flavours clearer (and helps your energy).
  • Eat properly: a board is great, but it isn’t always a full meal—book lunch or plan it in.
  • Leave buffer time: give yourself 30–45 minutes between bookings for travel, browsing, and toilets.
