Can I attend this event without participating in the tasting?

We would advise skipping this event if you are not interested in participating in the tasting. We do not offer alternative drinks for attendees who do not like wine. If you are sure you want to attend this event but not participate, you still need to purchase a ticket.

We have a small deli serving cheese and charcuterie boards and other nibbles, which is open throughout the tasting (excluding hot food like baked camembert). We strongly advise pre-ordering food if you know you are going to want to eat either during or after the event. We can prepare food to order while running the tasting, but the wait time will be significantly longer than if it is pre-ordered.All our food can be found in our Not Wine Menu. You can send your pre-order or any questions to contact@runnerducklancaster.co.ukWhilst you are welcome to eat during the tasting, please be aware that the food will change the way the wine tastes (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse). If you would prefer to experience the wine without the influence of other flavours, we recommend waiting until after the tasting has finished to eat with us.

Are your tastings suitable for vegetarians/vegans?

The majority of wines on our tastings will be suitable for vegetarians/vegans, however, there will on occasion be some that are not. When this happens, we always make guests aware ahead of time, and offer a vegan alternative.

Is there a seating plan?

Yes. Our tastings often sell out and we use all available seats to fit everyone in comfortably. If you have booked your tickets separately from others in your group, you need to let us know so we can ensure you end up sitting with your party. You may be sharing your table with another group.

Yes. Well behaved dogs are welcome at our tastings.
