Taste Winchester History Food and Beer Tours

01/04/2021

Happy New Year! As our restaurants continue to revitalize themselves throughout Covid, we too have taken time to figure out how to provide our tours safely. We are excited to launch our self guided food tours starting January 15th! This means your group can complete the tour by yourselves to stay safe, and even choose your own menu items for a more personalized tour. We will be launching several tour options from our classic historical tour to an International foods option, and several new tours including an architectural option, the lost buildings of Wi******er, and a black history tour that will be available year round! We are thrilled to be able to offer you even more interesting historical stories centered around these themes, and include even more restaurants on each tour! More details coming in the next week!

Celebrated the boy's 21st at last night, sadly only took a photo of one course, but everything was superb! We love exploring food and seeing how chefs layer flavors and knocked this season's menu out of the park, plus sent us home with soap made from garden herbs they needed to find creative uses for due to Covid.

Well, folks, we sincerely hope everyone is managing as well as can be expected given the circumstances. For the time being we have closed up the calendar for booking dates given the current global health situation. We miss everyone terribly and are optimistic and hopeful we'll be back out there mingling with everyone and having our usual incredibly fun times! We do this in advance of any shuttering (either voluntary or ordered) of our partner restaurants and museums. Read more at the TWH Blog: https://buff.ly/2x6tMxr
