'Snowdonia Uncorked' is a two-day mini-break for those who'd like a taste of the Welsh mountains combined with a low key introduction to wine tasting. Designed for those with little hillwalking experience and even less wine tasting knowledge, this break will be informal, fun and not too strenuous or mentally demanding.
During these two days you'll enjoy 3-4 hours of gentle guided hillwalking each day, taking time to admire the views and discuss the local environment with your guide before returning to Plas y Brenin each afternoon to soak up the unique atmosphere and ambience that the National Mountain centre has to offer.
In the evening evening your group will enjoy an exclusive and informative wine tasting evening. You'll taste wines from around the world in a relaxed informal atmosphere, learning to appreciate wines and recognise which wines and grapes suit you best. An ideal experience for those who'd like to try out hillwalking with a little extra 'apres walk'.
Cost: £155 2 days guiding, meals, accommodation and wine tasting
