Buy Wine Newcastle Upon Tyne

Alright, mate, let's talk wine. Newcastle Upon Tyne, you say? Now, I know what you're thinking, "Isn't Newcastle all about the pints and the Brown Ale?" Well, hold onto your berets, because we're about to dive into a world where the Geordie accent meets the French 'sip sip'.

Why Newcastle, You Ask?

First off, Newcastle's got a secret. No, it's not a hidden Tunnock's teacake stash (though, if you find one, share, yeah?). It's a thriving wine scene that's been bubbling under the surface. With a mix of independent shops, wine bars, and even a few vineyards nearby, it's like Newcastle's been keeping its wine game on the down-low, waiting for the perfect moment to pop the cork.

So, let's get stuck in, shall we?

Where to Start?

First things first, you've got to know your stuff. Now, I'm not saying you need to become a sommelier overnight (though, if you want to start using that word in everyday conversation, more power to you), but a little knowledge goes a long way. Luckily, Newcastle's got a few places where you can wet your whistle and learn a thing or two.

Take Blackfriars Restaurant, for instance. It's got a wine list that's longer than a Newcastle United match day queue. They've even got a 'Wine of the Month' club. Join that, and you'll be sipping like a pro in no time. Plus, their medieval vibe is just the ticket if you're feeling a bit Game of Thrones.

Or, if you're after something a bit more... casual, there's Vinovium. It's like a wine shop and a bar had a baby, and that baby grew up to be really, really good at choosing wine. They've got tastings, they've got advice, and they've even got a 'Wine of the Day' that's cheaper than a Greggs pasty. Result!

Wine Tasting? More Like Wine 'Experiencing'

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Wine tasting sounds a bit... posh." Well, mate, let me tell you, Newcastle's wine scene is anything but stuffy. Take Wine Tasting Newcastle, for example. They do wine tasting events all over the place - from the quirky to the downright bizarre. I mean, who wouldn't want to try 'Wine and Cheese Tasting in a Yurt'?

And if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, there's always the option to head out to the countryside and visit one of the nearby vineyards. Yes, you heard me right. Newcastle's not just about the city life - it's got a rural side too. Check out Laneberg Vineyard or Ravensworth Estate for a day of wine, sun (fingers crossed), and maybe even a spot of picnicking.

So, You've Got the Wine, Now What?

Well, now it's time to enjoy it, of course! Whether you're a red, white, or rosé kind of person, Newcastle's got a wine bar to suit every taste. From the trendy 21 Hospitality Group bars to the cozy Quilliam Brothers coffee shop (which, by the way, does a mean glass of wine), there's no shortage of places to raise a glass.

And if you're feeling a bit peckish after all that wine, don't worry. Newcastle's food scene is as vibrant as its wine scene. From the Michelin-starred House of Tides to the humble (but oh-so-delicious) By The River Brew Co., there's something to suit every appetite.

And There You Have It

Newcastle Upon Tyne - the city that's not just about the pints. It's about the wine too. So, next time you're in the 'Toon, don't be afraid to raise a glass. You never know, you might just find your new favorite tipple. Cheers!
