Without doubt, Glastonbury is the best festival in Britain and quite probably the world. The quality of music and the all-out entertainment is unrivalled. To get the most out of the Festival, you really need to be staying in luxurious accommodation and that is what I was lucky enough to do last week when I held a tasting at Pennard Hill Farm for 170 prestigious guests.

The line-up for the tasting
It was another successful tasting with all the wines showing beautifully. The 2014 VERDICCHIO CLASSICO SUPERIOR & 2010 MARSANNAY Montagne Domaine Huguenot really stood out, both can be purchased on our website.
Following the tasting we enjoyed a delicious supper of duck breast cooked beautifully by Kaboola Catering before nipping down to the Festival to experience first-hand how bad the mud was!
