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 hermit's cells, punishment rituals, and the exotic multicoloured wine that was the liquid gold of London frankly isn’t worth knowing. In fact this is your moment to immerse yourself in the medieval metropolis, as well as sampling a coconut-shell of frothy medieval rosé, and two glasses of the more modern variety.
Expect a few interactions with plague widows, local vintners and religious fanatics along the way, as costumed actors and musicians leap out when you least expect it. 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 two-and-a-half hours, finishing in a gorgeous medieval tavern.
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…’
All you have to do is pay for the gift experience you wish to purchase. We’ll send a voucher including booking instructions to you or directly to the recipient.
Matthew's Medieval Wine Tour was excellent. I've been on a wide variety of tours, both nationally and internationally, and this is definitely the best.
I bought the cheese and wine on the cheese barge experience and the medieval wine tour experience for my sisters as Christmas presents. What fabulous ideas as gifts for people who already have everything.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Matt and his team for leading such an interesting tour today. The information I received will greatly enhance my script! Matt you are an awesome tour guide!
It's always a problem to know what to get my 40 year old son for Christmas and birthday, especially as he celebrates both within a few days of each other. A few years ago he and my daughter-in-law bought me an art experience from the Indytute. Unfortunately I didn't use the voucher immediately and then Covid shut everything down. My gift expired before I was able to use it. However it gave me the idea of looking for something for him and I settled on the wine tour for two. I'm sure they'll both ...
