This is a first for us here at V and B Northampton. Lox will be joining us, and hosting a spirits tasting : blind. You'll be tasting the top 5 categories - Gin, Whisky, Rum, Tequila and Cognac - but with no indication of which one is which! What you can expect though, is a masterclass filled with Lox's knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for spirits, where you can meet likeminded people, taste some amazing products and even learn a thing or two!

England is the new kid on the block in the world of wine, but thanks to our climate, terroir and wine-making methods - we're producing some really good stuff, so good in fact that the UK is consistently producing award-winning wine on an international scale. Come and see (or rather taste) what all the fuss is about...

For this class, we’re putting Ntown front and centre as we celebrate beer made here in our great county. Taste a selection of locally brewed beers, as we celebrate Northamptonshire together. (big city lights don’t bother me...)

Yes we would like a beer - German beer to be precise. Join us as we discover a whole range of German brews, learn about the history of German beer and their strict brewing rules and methods, and taste a whole lot of the good stuff. Prost!

I’d like a beer - but make it barrel-aged. For this masterclass, we'll be exploring a range of beers from a variety of countries - and learning all about the barrel-ageing process. How do the barrels’ previous contents affect the beer today? Is 'the older the better' really the case? Grab your ticket and come and find out.

I’d like a wine - but make it fortified. Join us on the 6th of November as we taste Port, Sherry & lots more. Learn about the history of fortified wines, where they come from, how they're made and how they taste. Why should Santa have all the fun?

A Festive treat and whisky neat? It’s an event you cannot beat! For this class, Lox will be exploring the (somewhat) unorthodox pairing of mince pies and whisky! The fruity and warming nature of cask sherry, with the richness of a flaky mince pie - a combination that’s bound to keep you toasty during the cold winter evenings. (sleigh flying is prohibited after this event)

Overview On Santa’s good list this year?... Always wanted to try a selection of fine wines but never had the chance? Then this is the event for you! We’ll be cracking open a range of exclusive high quality wines ready for your enjoyment. Everyone deserves a treat once in a while, and never more than at this time of year...
