Of course it would not be a proper 17th May celebration without something outstanding in the glass… at least not when doing it in style at Tollbua! 

Wine pairing and Champagne pairing is available, as well as a special alcohol-free drink pairing. If you would prefer to select something from our extensive wine list please do so, either on the day or ahead of time (so that we can prepare the bottle accordingly ahead of your visit).
