A toast to the Harrogate district

The Harrogate district boasts a number of vineyards, breweries, micro-breweries and gin distilleries.

Real ale connoisseurs can sample a beer that has been brewed on-site with zero food miles involved for the freshest taste or head to a real-ale pub for a fine selection of North Yorkshire beers and ales on tap.

A cocktail afternoon is a fun way to spend time with girlfriends, celebrate a birthday or new job or just because it’s the weekend, an excuse is never needed to enjoy a Manhattan or a Cosmopolitan.
