Everything from cheese crawls around London Bridge to foraging walks in East London woodland, Ethiopian cooking classes, medieval wine tours and a self-guided gourmet trail through Mayfair’s backstreets. Loads.
The common thread? They’re all run by independent specialists who genuinely love what they do. Not chains, not corporate dining packages. Run by independent, slightly obsessed experts... exactly our sort of people. If you want a restaurant gift card, we’re probably not your best bet. If you’d rather give something they’ll still be talking about in six months, read on.
The London Cheese Crawl is one of our most-gifted experiences: two hours around London Bridge, with tastings, pairings and a cheese trivia quiz at each stop which can get a bit competitive! Afternoon Cheese on a Barge is to die-for: six cheeses, a grilled cheese sandwich each and Prosecco, obvs, on a double-decker barge in Paddington. Ridiculous? Slightly. Brilliant? Absolutely. Craving something out-of-the-ordinary? Try Dinner for two at the exquisite Cinammon Kitchen in Battersea and admire the incredible redevelopment of Battersea Power Station at the same time. For something more hands-on, Cocktails, Folktales and Foraging experience takes you both into East London woodland to forage wild ingredients, and drink cocktails made from what you find, from £95.
This is where The Indytute really earns its keep. The Medieval Wine Tour with Dr Matthew Green is a walking tour through the City of London exploring how wine shaped medieval Society; totally niche, totally gripping, from ￡59. The Four Drinks That Built London walking tour traces the history of the city through coffee, gin, beer and tea — genuinely one of the best history tours in London, from ￡34. The Bermondsey Beer Mile is a tasting trail through the railway arches of Bermondsey, home to some of London’s best independent breweries, from ￡25.50. And Honey Harvesting Workshop has you uncapping frames and jarring your own East London honey straight from the hive.
None of these are on any other experience gift site. That’s rather the point.
Quite a few. The London Cheese Crawl starts from £35. The Four Drinks That Built London walking tour from £34. The Bermondsey Beer Mile from £25.50. The Mayfair Gourmet Trail - a foodie mystery tour through Mayfair’s backstreets, starts from £35 for two.
All open-dated vouchers valid for 12 months.

Absolutely, and this is something we’re genuinely pleased about. The AF Cocktail Masterclass teaches you to make two brilliant alcohol-free cocktails and understand the craft behind them, from ￡35. The Fermentation Workshop — making sauerkraut, kimchi and preserved lemons, is entirely alcohol-free and genuinely one of the most useful things you can learn from ￡45. And foraging experiences are obviously as sober as you want to be. If something involves alcohol and there’s no AF option, we say so in the detailed description.
Yes. eVouchers are delivered to your inbox within 15 minutes of purchase, any time of day or night. And they’re FREE!
We can even send the eVoucher directly to the lucky recipient if you want to appear impossibly organised, or we’ll send it straight to you. You choose. When it’s time, just visit usemygift.indytute.com to register and pick a date. No panic, Vouchers are valid for 12 months from purchase.
Not sure which experience to choose? A Super Voucher lets the recipient browse everything on this website and then pick themselves exactly what they fancy. Can’t go wrong that way.
A restaurant gift card gives someone a meal they’ll probably have anyway. An Indytute food experience gives them a skill, a story, or a discovery they wouldn’t have found on their own. The people running our experiences are independent specialists, not a restaurant chain’s marketing department. Booking with Indytute puts money directly into their pockets. We start with stories worth sharing, not some cash on a piece of plastic.
