WINEWEEKENDS VENUES

ASPEN HOUSE
Aspen house is an intimate and comfortable little place expertly run. Avowed foodies Sally and Rob trawl the local farmer’s markets, browbeat the best butchers, stalk the finest sausage makers, raid the delis and dairies, and hotly pursue the local cheese makers, to get the quality they require to please their guests.

Their menus are always interesting and varied with Rob eager to show us another aspect of the rich treasure that is Herefordshire cuisine, with a few tasty nuances learned from his polish mother. A very tasty experience.

THE OLD MILL
Carol provides local fare garnered from field, stream and market. The Mill is cosy and homely with Carol constantly popping in to the party to enquire if we have all that we need.

Wine is poured in Carol's little lounge, every sniff and mouthfeel to be humourously discussed, analysed and savoured. After the tasting, a feast of beef or lamb, with vegetables. Guaranteed to gladden the heart. Everyone's welcome around Carol's bottle smothered table.

KENTCHURCH COURT
Kentchurch Court is a magnificant old building dripping with character. It has a horsey and houndy feel and has nestled for centuries in the shadow of the lovely, remote, heather clad Garway Hill in one of the most tranquil parts of Herefordshire.

The terraced room, where we hold our wine tastings, is long and elegant with a massive log fire, an ancient piano and subtle lighting. There is the library and the more popular billiard room giving plenty of opportunity to relax and converse in different circumstances. Kentchurch Court is an unusual but very memorable experience.

THE BRIDGE at WILTON
2005 / 06 / 07 Winner "Flavours of Herefordshire Restaurant of the Year"
The Bridge is a Georgian house with a wonderful atmosphere that will make you feel at home from the second you walk through the door. They have beautifully appointed en-suite rooms, several restaurant areas plus an adjoining bar and conservatory areas from which to enjoy the famous views across the river to Ross-on-Wye.

The Bridge's restaurant is Michelin Guide recommended and AA rosette-rated. The head Chef creates unique, exciting and truly imaginative dishes which will be savoured and remembered.

After staying at the Bridge, Paddy Burt in the Telegraph said:
"A delight... with an inspiring restaurant that is not to be missed! ... A riverside seat of Epicurean excellence, illuminated by a light touch"

TimeOut London said:
"... so close to the Wye you can sit in the garden and watch the trout jump ... and you can eat what must be the best food in the county."
