Christmas Gift Guide – Places and Experiences

From cosy wine bars to fun-filled Christmas parties, there’s plenty going on in Wiltshire over the Christmas holidays. Here’s a few picks from our members.

Helen Browning’s Organics
Celebrate the season with Helen Browning’s Organic. Their award-winning pork and beef is sourced from free-range, happy herds and available to order. 

From now until Christmas Eve, you can enjoy a hearty homemade festive dinner at Helen Browning’s Royal Oak pub in Bishopstone. If there’s a big group of you, the pub’s sharing option is ideal – all you need to do is pick three menu options from the festive menu and it’s served at the table with big bowls and wooden boards. Visit the Helen Browning website for more information. 

Rowdey Cow
From tea with Santa to a Christmas party in the Rowdey Cow barn, there’s plenty of fun to be had on the farm this December! Plus, while you’re there, pick up a tub of Rowdey Cow’s homemade ice creams, made with milk from cows just a few fields away. 

Find out more on the Rowdey Cow website. 

Tea Inc. 
Take a break from the Christmas shopping and pop into Tea Inc. for a restorative brew and delicious cake! Their specialty tea blends are available to take away, too – a great gift for tea connoisseurs. 

View the full menu on the Tea Inc. website, and head to their Instagram to find out more about their daily specials. 

Wine Monkey
This carefully curated shop features amazing wines from around the world, including right here in Wiltshire. The Cellar is the perfect spot for a cosy December evening, with artisan sharing boards and of course, great wine.  

Wine Monkey will also be hosting its annual New Year Extravaganza – ring in the new year in style and sophistication with homemade canapés, three-course sharing boards and live music. Book online via the Wine Monkey website. 

Witchmark Distillery
Witchmark Distillery sources its raw ingredients from just 150 metres away – making it an authentic grain to glass distillery. Tours are now available to book and make for a unique gift as you learn how whisky and other spirits are made. 

Tours are priced at just £15 per person until 31 January 2025 – a great Christmas present or winter outing! Book your tour on the Witchmark website.
