wine tasting at swinton park (yorkshire)?
we have been given a gift of wine tasting at swinton park, is it any good and what is the food like. it is also quite an expensive place is it full of snobs and would we get away with wearing casual clothes i.e , decent jeans and shirt.

- When's this happening, why haven't I got an invite, come on spill the beans....... take me with you.
- casual clothes are fine cos its not formal you get to taste a red wine and a white wine, but mostly its bitters you do get free pork scratchings though

- just enjoy yourself.
- I just wanted to say you British people are so cool!
- I don`t think it`s a jeans and T-shirt place! never been there but the countryside around there is beautiful
- If you know it to be "posh", I would not wear a collar and tie, but dress "smart/ casual". This allows you to feel comfortable within your surroundings, and able to enjoy your gift more appreciably. May I recommend that if they have crackers or Bath Olivers (posh crackers) to accompany the wine, do eat a couple as this will help soak up the residual alcohol that is left in your mouth after "spitting out". Also drink sparkling water, as this cleanses the palate, dilutes the alcohol, before moving on to the next wine. By all means after you have tasted the wines you would not ordinarily go out and buy, and you feel you have been good enough, have a few and enjoy yourself. I always do this and after the palate is cleansed again, I drink Champagne until it is time to go, or I get too drunk to be civilised (always know the limit), and then it is off home, get something to eat, quick snooze and "get dahn the boozer". Enjoy
