An evening well spent! - The London Wine Detour is a must-do--whether you're a Londoner or just visiting. Freddie is the consummate tour guide and is an endless wealth of knowledge about both wine and the history of London. A great way to spend an evening and meet new people over a glass or two--can not recommend highly enough!

So much fun, we had to do it twice! - We had a blast with Freddy the day before on a separate crawl, that when he told us he did a wine version, we were in! Freddy is so knowledgeable of the city of London and its wonderful history around imbibing. He had insight to how the history of the city shaped the many places we visited, and had amazing wine recommendations. Who knew that English Champagne was a thing?! Had a blast and hope to return to visit again :)
