Small Group Walking Tours of Winchesters Best Pubs
About Us
Host & Guide
Hi, I'm Rab,
Born and bred in Glasgow I've lived in the beautiful city of Winchester for 12 years and it's now where I call home.
Having always been a pub person and love the great British tradition of 'having a pint' I've discovered that Winchester has some amazing places to do just that.
Join me on a small group guided walking tour of some of the best pubs Winchester has to offer.
Cheers!
Pubs
Winchester has some amazing pubs just waiting to be discovered. From 17th century coaching inns to back street boozers to modern Gastropubs and friendly locals this city has the lot. Whether you love beer, gin or anything in between you are sure to find something to quench your thirst. With the city being so easy to navigate by foot why not join one of the tours and walk off the drinks you enjoy in the pubs!
Tours
There are 2 set tours to choose from.
Tour 1
Visit 4 traditional pubs popular with both locals and tourists where you can relax and enjoy a drink of your choice. Discover Winchester's amazing pub history, at one point there were 132 and 5 breweries! The walk takes us past the magnificent cathedral and Winchester college.
Tour 2
Visit 4 local pubs in the backstreets off the tourist trail where you can relax and enjoy a drink of our choice. Each pub has its own charm and gives you a feel for where the locals hang out. Pass the location of a pub with a claim to be Winchester's oldest and an old brewery site at the heart of Winchester's rich pub history.
