- Cava Stars Brut Reserva | Castillo Perelada | Penedès, Spain – Paying homage to Castillo Perelada’s famed music festival, this vintage Cava is a sparkling masterpiece crafted in the traditional method. With fine bubbles and a fresh, fruity nose, it’s dry, smooth, and complex on the palate, with delightful ageing notes. Perfect for toasting special moments.
- The Holy Snail | Domaine Joël Delaunay | Loire, France – A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc from Touraine, this wine fills the nose with aromas of grapefruit, lime, and a hint of tropical fruit. It’s round and refreshing on the palate, with bright fruit notes and a subtle touch of sweetness that makes it an ideal match for festive fare.
- Cairanne | Darriaud | Southern Rhône, France – This rich blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre brings intense flavours of dark red fruits, morello cherry, and a touch of cinnamon spice. Soft, dark plummy fruit and hints of liquorice and black tea complete this smooth, full-bodied wine with supple tannins.
- Savoury Delights – A festive feast of savoury treats, including Pigs in Blankets Roasted Nuts, Pink Peppercorn and Purbeck Cider Salami from The Real Cure, Isle of Mull Cheese Traditional Biscuits, and American Ranch Almonds from Mr Filbert’s. Each snack brings a unique twist, with flavours ranging from smoky and nutty to spicy and rich, adding a satisfying depth to this hamper.
- After-Dinner Indulgences – For a perfect end to the evening, we’ve included Figgy Pudding Fudge and the bold Jute Blend Ground Coffee. The fudge brings a rich, festive sweetness, while the coffee, with its deep, roasted flavour, is an ideal pairing for after-dinner treats.
- Fine Accompaniments – Enjoy a traditional Christmas touch with Potted Blue Stilton from Cropwell Bishop and Christmas Chutney by The Jam Queen, each enhancing the wine pairings with rich and tangy flavours, creating a well-rounded festive spread.

Becky Says:
The Discovery Christmas Hamper is close to my heart because it’s all about exploring new flavours and textures. The Cava Stars Brut Reserva brings that wonderful sparkling vibrancy that feels perfect for Christmas toasts, while The Holy Snail Sauvignon Blanc is a personal favourite with its bright, fresh notes that bring a touch of summer to the winter season. And the Cairanne Darriaud, with its rich dark fruit and spice, is simply a joy to savour.
The savoury elements—especially the Pink Peppercorn and Purbeck Cider Salami and Potted Blue Stilton—are fantastic pairings with these wines, creating a truly complete tasting experience. And for a satisfying end to a festive evening, the Figgy Pudding Fudge and Jute Blend Coffee offer the perfect sweet note and warming finish. For me, this hamper is all about discovery, offering a delightful mix of the familiar and the unexpected, creating a festive experience that’s perfect for sharing with loved ones.
