The Tasting Barn

Tucked inside Holme Grange Craft Village just outside Wokingham, The Tasting Barn is a specialist drinks shop with a genuine commitment to local craft beer alongside its broader range of wine, gin, and cider. Their craft beer selection focuses on supporting the many independent breweries in the Berkshire area, making it a useful one-stop destination for picking up beers from multiple local producers without needing to visit each brewery separately. The shop stocks an eclectic range of artisan snacks chosen to pair with drinks, and can put together bespoke gift hampers — a practical option for craft beer gifts without the fuss of ordering from multiple online shops. Wine by the glass and chilled cans are available to enjoy in the courtyard outside the store, giving it a relaxed, unhurried feel that sets it apart from a typical off-licence. Holme Grange Craft Village itself is worth knowing about — a cluster of 22 small independent businesses with an artisan and farmers' market on the last Saturday of each month through summer, making a visit to The Tasting Barn easy to combine with a broader morning or afternoon out. Nationwide online ordering is available with delivery, collection, and local delivery options.
