Canons Ashby House
26 June and 27 November 2010
The ASDW return once again to Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire to continue the highly successful series of wine tastings in convivial elegant surroundings Both events offer an ideal opportunity to taste ASDW members' wines from around the world, many of which are unavailable elsewhere in the UK. The the June event will be the ideal opportunity to stock up on great summer wines, whereas the November tastings are ideal for purchasing your Christmas wines. You can also take the time to visit the National Trust owned Canons Ashby House, a beautiful Elizabethan house with fabulous gardens and a ruined medieval priory church. The feedback from National Trust Staff and visitors to previous events has been excellent. One visitor said to Siân Watson the Property Administrator of Canons Ashby House that she used to often visit National Trust's Waddesdon Manor to buy Rothschild wines. But ASDW's wines were better at a much better price. Nice feedback indeed.
