The Majestic Wine Tasting Studio

Join Majestic wine of Thame for their brand new Tasting Studio, where they will be pouring a carefully curated selection of outstanding English Sparkling wines…and more!

James and Tamara will be hosting the studio and bringing along not only the wine, but their producers too. And best of all – every session is FREE once you’re inside the festival. No need to book – just turn up!

Majestic is the UK’s largest specialist wine retailer — and the only nationwide, multi-channel retailer specialising in premium wines, beers and spirits. With more than 200 stores across England, Scotland, Wales and Jersey, each staffed by more than 1,000 expert colleagues trained through the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), we help more than 4 million customers discover their new favourite drink every single year.

Majestic has taken on the unit previously occupied by Newitt’s of Thame, a much-loved butcher that was famous in the local community and beyond for its award-winning pies and meats. Majestic has retained a number of the butcher’s shop’s features – including its black and white tiled flooring, wooden ceiling beams and tiled walls featuring original murals – to honour the role the Newitt family played in the community for more than 50 years.

Majestic has invested in building an extension at the rear of the store to accommodate its full range of more than 1,200 high-quality wines, beers and spirits. The store has a dedicated area for 65 Fine Wines and stocks low and no alcohol alternatives, soft drinks and a newly extended range of premium snacks including crisps, olives and beersticks.

Majestic has brought its market-leading and award-winning service proposition to the Thame store, where its experienced and highly qualified expert colleagues will host free wine tastings seven days a week. Customers will have the opportunity to try a selection of wines before they buy at the in-store Tasting Counter, and get expert advice from the Majestic team, all of whom are trained through the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
