WHERE ARE WATKINS WINE TASTINGS HELD?

Glad you asked!

Tasting Room

Seated tastings are run in the Tasting Room with a helpful Watkins staff member who will regale you with tales about the wine and history of the Watkins family.

Wine Shed

The Wine Shed is a casual space (perfectly suited to larger groups) to enjoy a glass or bottle with friends, and a pizza from 59 Pizzeria.

Terrace

Non guided wine tastings are available to enjoy on the terrace when the sun is shining. Or you can enjoy a casual glass or bottle with friends.

DO I NEED TO BOOK A WATKINS WINE TASTING SEPERATELY TO 59 PIZZERIA?

Yes.

Watkins and 59 Pizzeria are run separately but boy do we enjoy sharing the space - similarly to how perfectly paired a glass of wine is to pizza.

Can I book a table outside?

Definitely if the sun is shining!

We do sometimes experience strong winds being located at the top of the hill so if it is raining or excessively windy, we will move your booking inside.

To secure a table outside, book the on terrace.
