Saffron Grange Wine Punting

Sparkling Summer Punting

Start your weekend off in style as you sample three celebrated Saffron Grange vintages on a wine tasting punting tour gliding through the glorious Cambridge College Backs. 

After work, jump on our shared experience and join us to savour some divine flavours and see the sights on the river on this 45 minute punting experience. Travel past the University of Cambridge’s prestigious riverside Colleges and their architectural and scenic delights whilst sampling three impressive English sparkling wines on a punt.

Your Saffron Grange Host will take you through the tasting and tell you the history of this fantastic local vineyard, English sparkling wines and more. The three wines from saffron grange will be teamed with a tasting pack including a rose macaron, salt and vinegar crisps and olives with thyme and lemon.

Your tasting includes a deviously esoteric Seyval Blanc Reserve, followed by the gloriously celebratory Classic Cuvée, and concluding with a whimsically revitalised Sparkling Rosé. Each tasting guided by Saffron Grange vineyard experts and served in our archetypal stemless glasses. Paired with matching nibbles, this is the perfect punting experience to kick off your Friday night.

Enjoyed perfectly with this educational experience, Rutherford’s own knowledgeable tour guide will be on hand throughout to keep you gliding in the right direction and entertain you with fascinating nuggets of information about your surroundings.

We have partnered with Saffron Grange to offer the ultimate alfresco wine tasting experience this summer. These are exclusive shared event experiences, bookable on Friday evenings only.
