Trip to Ilkley, for Martinez’ “Wine Extravaganza”
And one night at The Craiglands Hotel, Ilkley LS29 8RQ
Tuesday 4th November 2025
From a fantastic £99 per person
Join Suzanne at Martinez Wine Merchant’s “Wine Extravaganza” Event, held at The Winter Gardens, where over 100 wines and spirits will be available for tasting. Discount on wines ordered on the day. An excellent opportunity to taste a huge range of wonderful wines in the exceptional setting of the Kings Hall Winter Gardens and Theatre, an attractive Victorian building with glass roof. Opposite the train station in the centre of Ilkley. 4pm onwards.
After our first visit in 2021, we decided that an overnight stay was necessary and so have arranged rooms and breakfast at The Craiglands Hotel, built in 1859 as a purpose built hydropathic establishment, with a hydro pool, sauna and steam room along with full gym.
10 minutes walking from the Kings Hall.
Don’t fancy that…………then why don’t you…………
Spend the afternoon wandering the spa town of Ilkley in the Wharfe Valley, whose attractions include Riverside Gardens, Ilkley Pool and Lido, Manor House Heritage and Arts Museum. There are many quality restaurants including The Box Tree, Bistro Pierre and of course Betty’s Tea Room, along with quality gift, fashion and book shops. Not to mention the wonderful surroundings of the Ilkley Moor countryside.
Don’t fancy driving that far….take the train, from Newcastle one change at Leeds for Ilkley, every half an hour.

The Advintage “Lockdown!”
Advintage launch a series of events via the “Zoom” app, downloaded onto your laptop, tablet or mobile phone, with the aim of keeping our groups together informally for tasting, education and chat.
The Plan:
Please state your interest in participating, giving your name, address, post code, telephone number and E mail. We need this information for delivery, and to invite you into the “Zoom” meeting on the event evening.
We will deliver the tasting samples with notes during the afternoon of the event evening ensuring samples are as fresh as possible. The samples are measured at 50ml per person, in small labelled bottles.
The bottles are re-usable, so must be returned. A fee of £1.50 per bottle will charged if they are not returned. Bottles can be returned upon delivery of the next tasting, or dropped off if you are in the vicinity of Queens Road, Whitley Bay. Bottles will be washed and sterilised before re-use.
Price: £15 per person (5 x samples)
£25 for two (10 x samples)
Please note:
Event prices may differ depending on quantity and price of samples shown.
Payment Methods:
Cash or cheque in an envelope upon delivery. Cheques made out to Advintage Limited.
Internet bank transfer: Please contact Advintagewine for bank transfer details.
Want to join up with friends and family who live outside of the North East?
A private session can be arranged with wines purchased from local outlets. Contact Suzanne to discuss.
We hope to offer at least two “Zoom” events per month, and will let you know in advance of the next evening.
