An immersive historical wine tasting tour in London led by acclaimed historian and broadcaster Dr Matthew Green.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
A plague pit as a vineyard ? Really ? This is a tour around medieval London with the delightful Dr Matthew Green, and what he doesn’t know about cells, putrid wine, and the liquid gold of London frankly isn’t worth knowing. In fact this is your moment to immerse yourself in the metropolis, as well as sampling a coconut-shell of frothy medieval rose, and a glass or two of the more modern variety.
Expect a few encounters with local vintners along the way. This is an immersive experience guaranteed to bring the old city back to life, and an excuse to stagger around the medieval streets of London. An absolute must for anyone with the slightest interest in our bawdy social history.
THE ALL IMPORTANT DETAILS
All you need bring is a good pair of comfy walking shoes and a thirst for knowledge. Meet in the courtyard outside Guildhall, London, EC2V . The walks are run on Saturdays or Sundays (monthly) from 2:30pm and last 2 hours.
Choose whether you want to do this walking solo or invite someone along to share the experience.
*** TIME OUT CRITICS’ CHOICE *** – 4/5 stars: “The winning Dr Matthew Green paints a lively picture of Medieval London…There can’t be many walking tours that take the ‘getting you drunk’ bit almost as seriously as the history bit. Luckily, the stories we’d heard were plenty vivid enough to stick in our fuzzy head…’
