Special experiences for food and drink lovers

Harrogate is home to many delicious foodie places with many hotels and tea rooms offering a delicious afternoon tea. The Majestic Hotel serves The Majestic Afternoon Tea in both Carter’s Champagne Bar and Grill and Frederick’s piano lounge. Enjoy a sumptuous feast in opulent surroundings.

For something a little different, enjoy a Spirit of Harrogate experience – The Spirit of Gin sees the expert team of mixologists guide you through the history and evolution of gin as you sample the different styles of gin while The Master Distiller helps you identify your preferred style, before you make your very own personalised bottle.

Yorkshire Heart is an award-winning vineyard and brewery, set in beautiful North Yorkshire countryside between Harrogate and York. Here you can taste a range of wines, accompanied with nibbles to enhance your tasting experience. Stay longer and follow the tour with a light lunch.

Capture picture perfect moments at Fountains Abbey, Ripon, one of the National Trust’s most Instagram-able locations, making it the top spot to capture that first-date selfie! Take a stroll around the grounds and enjoy the natural beauty and rich history that surrounds you in this historic setting that recently starred in the second season of Netflix’s The Witcher and The Secret Garden. Romantic follies and tucked-away temples provide the perfect romantic venue to pop the question.
