Summer only comes around once a year. How can you make this summer extra special?

Wondering how?

....Well, we might have an idea that is right up your stream!

This year, we’re introducing a partnership with Saffron Grange; a brand spanking new English sparkling wine vineyard that’s located 20 miles from Cambridge outside the scenic Saffron Walden.

The family vineyard grows its carefully selected grapes on the chalk seam that runs all the way from Northern France’s premium wine regions. This means they are able to cultivate truly magnificent local sparkling wines. Tastings reveal exquisite wines as refined as they are delicately playful.

And what better way to experience this up-and-coming competitor in the global wine scene, than with a specially prepared wine-tasting punt tour?

That’s right! Every month this Summer, Rutherfords Punting in partnership with Saffron Grange, are hosting exclusive guided tours of the river. On tour, you’ll enjoy the sights and sounds of the iconic Backs of the River Cam, and sample three revered staples from Saffron Grange’s English sparkling wine range.

Your tasting includes a deviously esoteric Seyval Blanc Reserve, followed by the gloriously celebratory Classic Cuvée, and concludes with a whimsically revitalised Sparkling Rosé. Each wine has also been specially paired with a delectable snack to make the flavours truly dance with your taste buds.

If any of this is piquing your interest or sparking your appetite for experience, then don’t hesitate to book - places are limited.

Find out about our next scheduled wine-tasting tour and we’ll see you on our brand new Saffron-Grange punt, armed with luscious flavours that you are invited to imbibe and savour.

Salut!
