Posted: December 4, 2017
Christmas is a time for celebration. The giving of presents, gathering of family and the enjoyment of good food and drink.
For many, Christmas Dinner is the highlight of the festivities. Roast turkey, stuffing, gravy, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire puddings, veg and gravy. Maybe a glass of wine or two. Eating Christmas dinner is a tradition that dates back to the 16th century. And one that is still enjoyed today.
To create these feasts an ample kitchen is a must. And how about a well-stocked wine cellar to keep the guests happy ahead of the evening festivities?
This selection of wine cellars and cosy kitchens all taken from recent David Burr listings. If you fancy spending next year’s festive period in one of these beautiful houses, get in contact with the relevant office today and arrange a viewing!
