We love &Union, especially the fact that they do free wine tastings on Tuesday and Thursday. You don't need to make it out to the wine farms, but can just pop in after work, meet some great people and enjoy the amazing wines that they showcase.

Run by Jemma who knows her wines, the tastings are informal, fun and accessible even for newbie wine connoisseurs!
