Nottingham is having a moment, folks. It’s not just Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest anymore—it’s a hub for independent craft, and Weavers is leading the charge. They’ve become a local treasure, the kind of place you brag about to your London friends, who then get jealous.
They also host tastings, which are basically parties for adults who like to learn. Picture this: you, a handful of strangers, and a guy named Dave explaining why this Bulgarian red wine tastes like cherries and rain. You leave smarter, happier, and maybe a little tipsy.

And the prices? Surprisingly fair. You don’t need to remortgage your house to buy a bottle here. Weavers believes that great taste shouldn’t cost a fortune, and that’s a philosophy I can toast to.

If you’re a whiskey fan, prepare to lose your mind. They have Scotch from islands you can’t pronounce, Japanese blends that taste like silk, and a bourbon that smells like a campfire in heaven. I once asked for something “smoky but also a bit sweet,” and the staffer handed me a bottle of magic that changed my life.
Gin lovers, you’re spoiled too. They stock local Nottingham gins with botanicals like lavender and elderflower—stuff that makes your standard Gordon’s taste like lawn clippings. Seriously, try the one from Sherwood Forest; it’s like drinking a magical forest, minus the risk of meeting a merry man.
And for the adventurous? There’s a shelf of weird—like bison grass vodka or an Italian amaro that tastes like bitter herbs and regret. But in a good way. Trust me.
Why You Should Visit (Even if You’re Not a Wine Buff)
You don’t have to be a sommelier to enjoy Weavers. If you’re a total beginner, they won’t judge you for asking, “Is this the red one, or the white?” They’ll just smile and say, “Let’s find out.” It’s judgment-free booze heaven.
And if you’re buying a gift? You’re already a hero. Walk in, say “I need something for a snobby friend who hates everything,” and they’ll hand you a bottle that will make that friend weep with joy. You’ll look like a legend.
