Wine Tasting is Back at Wicksteed Park for 2026!

Handpicked Wine Box is bringing wine tasting back to Wicksteed Park this March!

Our first wine tasting with Handpicked Wine Box in November 2025 was a huge success and we received great feedback from guests.

We asked the guests what they sipped, savoured and loved most about the evening. Here’s what they had to say:

“Nice to try wines I wouldn’t normally try. Nice sociable evening too.”

“The presentation by Becky was excellent & I learnt a lot about the wine making process.”

“Welcoming staff, lovely venue, choice of wines, whole experience, great nibbles and well organised.”

“Loved trying the wines that may not have tried before.”

“Becky was knowledgeable and friendly.”

“All of it! Very informative. Tried wines I wouldn’t normally drink. Buy local. Food was delicious.”

If you want to welcome the new season with an evening of great wine, good company and relaxed springtime vibes, come along to our next wine tasting evening on the 20th March 2026.

Customer Reviews

"Had a wonderful day at wicksteed in half term. Not overly busy, children went on all the rides and as many times as they wished. We booked wristbands for them on line and was great value for money. Staff were all friendly and professional. Love being able to go back to a place I lived as a child with my own child and nieces and nephews."

Emma

"We booked the day before as we knew it would be warm but not too hot. The number of places to pick up wristbands was pretty good so you weren't to be queuing for ages. The ride operators were so lovely and if no one was in the queue they let my daughter stay on. She had the best day ever. Though saying that the queues never got very long which was really handy, especially if you have restless kids."

India

"Fabulous day out, pre-ordered wrist bands and love you do a 'family of 3' option ❤️ All staff were super helpful and cheerful, no long queue times and site was all clean and tidy. All on a sunny day in half term so it was busy but never felt crowded. Thank you"

Claire

"Fantastic day with my grandchildren aged 4 and 2. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. The “ Time for Tots” day was excellent value- very easy to book- just the perfect sort of rides available made even more enjoyable as no queues. A big thank you to everyone who is involved with Wicksteed Park."

Shelley

"This historic fun park and country park has something for all ages. There is a parking fee but it is low and supports the charity which owns and runs Wicksteed Park. There are a variety of rides for children of all ages. Without children, the park has great views, walks, miniature train, garden, etc. We had a drink at the Carousel Cafe, coffee and cake was great and sat on a nice table outside on the veranda."

Robert

"Had a wonderful time in the park today! Had lunch at the garden café, brioche baguettes and jacket potatoes, and the food was amazing !! Generous portions and super tasty! Staff in there were lovely, smiley and helpful, with lots of recommendations about what to do in the park! We took some cakes home too and they were also fab!! Will definitely be back."
