Four routes, launching one at a time. Each one tells the story of a part of Oxford through its pubs, its wine and the people who drank there.
The oldest inns in and around the walls, from the Turf and the Chequers to the Kings Arms, plus the Martyrs' Cross and the site of the lost Catherine Wheel inn.
Where Tolkien, C. S. Lewis and their friends met to read and argue, and the Oxford of writers and printers around them.
Canal boatmen, University Press workers and a district that once had a rough reputation, told through its pubs and the books set there.
College cellars, sealed bottles and a famous student wine contest, led by a guide with a WSET Level 2 qualification. Tasting partners are being lined up.
Several famous stops are closed or changing hands, so we check each pub's status before every walk and plan the route around what is open. [Confirm whether a drink is included in the price.]
