and its history is extensive. He has blended
sherries in Spain, bought wine in every corner of France
- he has a particular knowledge and affection for Bordeaux
and Champagnes, lectured worldwide and has overseen the opening

You can enjoy a wine tasting during
your stay at Tolley Cottage Bed and Breakfast Bath.
All tastings are very relaxed and light hearted and always intriguing.

hour, usually early evening to give guests plenty of time
to enjoy dinner in Bath afterwards.
