The best sparkling wines in Hampshire on offer at exclusive tasting event this week - how to book
“Hampshire is home to some fantastic food and drink producers.”
Wine lovers are being invited to sample award-winning Hampshire sparkling wines at a special tasting evening beside the River Hamble.
Boathouse Swanwick is teaming up with local producer Coates and Seely for the event on Friday, November 13, which will offer guests the choice of a wine tasting or a two-course dinner with wine pairings.
The event begins at 7pm and forms part of Ideal Collection’s Wine Club, a series of tasting experiences designed to introduce guests to different wines, regions and producers.
Guests can choose a standalone tasting of four sparkling wines for £17.50 per person, or enjoy a two-course dinner with three glasses of sparkling wine for £30. There is also the option to add dessert and a fourth glass of wine for an extra £8.
Lewis Hodder, head chef at Boathouse Swanwick, said: “We're delighted to be working with Coates & Seely for this event. Hampshire is home to some fantastic food and drink producers, and it's great to have the opportunity to showcase their wines alongside a menu featuring locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients.
“We've carefully considered how each dish complements the different wines, and we're looking forward to welcoming guests for an evening that celebrates some of the best produce our region has to offer.”
Coates and Seely was recently ranked third in The Real Review’s Top Wineries of Great Britain 2026.
Founded in 2008 by Christian Seely and Nicholas Coates, the company produces traditional-method sparkling wines from grapes grown on Hampshire’s chalk-rich soils at its vineyards near Whitchurch. Its wines have won numerous industry awards and have been served at royal palaces, Michelin-starred restaurants and prestigious venues around the world.
