5.00Had a fantastic afternoon yesterday with Manchester Wine Tours. Kel was the hostess with the mostess, taking us to hidden venues across Manchester with very tasty snacks and a choice of lovely wines. We will definitely be revisiting those venues and planning an other tour. Cheers Kel 🍷

5.00This is such a great thing to do, walk around interesting bits of Manchester, with new people, discussions on history, the area, people and places. Kelly knows and loves Manchester. The Bars and restaurants she picks for the tours are all interesting, different and clearly mad about and knowledgeable of the wines they stock and that Kelly has chosen. The wine tasted was varied and interesting and took me down some paths i might mot have chosen, but am glad i did! We walked with a Canadian Family, who were great companions and many a debate was had! The food/ snack accompaniments complemented the wines well….if you don’t do this, you’ll miss out on a great 4 hours!

5.00What a fabulous way to spend 4 hours on a Sunday afternoon. This is a friendly, informal experience and a great opportunity to learn about and sample some good wines (plentiful), tasty food and meet other people. Kel is experienced in the wine industry, very personable and knowledgeable. We learned interesting facts about our wines, the restaurants we visited and Manchester history. A great mix of venues and a well thought out mix of wines which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this tour to both wine buffs and amateurs and would love to do another!
Highly recommended tour!

5.00We had a fabulous time on the wine tour a couple of weeks ago. There were only four of us on the tour. We got on very well with the other couple which certainly added to our enjoyment. Kel was very entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we enjoyed visiting places we definitely wouldn’t have gone to otherwise. Lovely snacks too including delicious oysters. Would definitely recommend this experience and would repeat if visiting different places.
Great afternoon in Manchester

5.00We had a fantastic time on Manchester Wine Tours! Kel is so knowledgeable and we learned an incredible amount about wine and its creation. We got to sample some great tasting wines and delicious snacks which complemented them perfectly at some lovely venues in Manchester. The atmosphere was really friendly and welcoming, everyone on the tour seemed to be very relaxed and enjoying themselves. Would highly recommend as a different way to experience the city and its culture!

5.00We were given this voucher by our kids as a Christmas present. Booking with Kel was easy and we were sent lots of information ahead of the tour. There were only four of us on the tour, ourselves and another couple who we got on great with which was a nice bonus. Kel was fantastic. Full of knowledge about the wines we tasted and the process of wine making in general. She took us to 4 different places each having it's individual qualities and in areas of Manchester we hadn't seen. Her knowledge of Manchester and the history was excellent and added to the overall experience. The wines we had were all excellent and Kel explained each one in detail along with tips on how to get the most tasting experience from each one. The accompanying snacks were really delicious, starting with an oyster which was spectacular and switched us back on to oysters which we will be getting again. Other snacks were a selection of cheeses and crackers. Specialist crisps with fabulous olives and finally mushroom croquettes. All delicious. We found Kel to be both knowledgeable and entertaining and had a fantastic afternoon. We would highly recommend the experience and in fact my brother and his wife are keen to book again with us in the future. Thank you Kel you were brilliant and we wish you great success in the future. Ian & Susan 😘
Fabulous, informative and great fun!

5.00We had such a brilliant afternoon with Kel as our guide on this tour. She was both really knowledgeable and entertaining and took us to fascinating venues we hadn’t been to, (despite having lived in Manchester for over 20 years!) and introduced us to a huge variety of different wines and grape varieties, in addition to teaching us about tasting notes and wine making practices around the world. Each wine was accompanied by a delicious ‘snack’ - carefully chosen to work well together. These included a tasty fried chicken with pickles, a modern take on a spanakopita, olives, focaccia and finally a delicious cheesy truffle croquette. It was a perfect birthday gift and I would wholeheartedly recommend it!
Fantastic wine tour around central Manchester - 24 April 2026

5.00I'm not normally one for leaving feedback, but have made an exception for this wine tour of Manchester city center as it was just great. The tickets were a Christmas present from family and I had not previously heard of this tour. Booking was easy, and there was plenty of communication from the tour guide Kel before the event providing details of what to expect/what to bring/where to meet etc. The tour itself was really enjoyable, with four lovely venues, from smart sophisticated bar through to lively market hall. Kel was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, for both the wine and Manchester itself. The seven different wines that we drank during the day were a very nice mix with a planned pathway from sparkling white through to aged red, and the nibbles that we had at each venue were freshly prepared and extremely tasty. I will definitely do this tour again to see different venues and try other wines. TL:DR:- A+, would recommend.
